Lacunar Infract - Oren Zarif - Lacunar Infarct
A small lacunar infarct can degenerate into a lacuna. A reduction in blood flow to a perforating artery is the likely cause. Various arterial diseases can cause small lacunar infarcts, such as microatheroma and lipohyalinosis. Cerebral autosomic dominant arteriopathy may also be a cause of lacunar infarcts.

Treatment of a lacunar stroke is similar to that for ischemic stroke. Treatments may include thrombolysis or a mechanical device to break up blood clots. The patient will also be given blood-thinning medication for up to 90 days after the procedure. Treatment options may vary depending on the severity of symptoms. The goal of treatment for this type of stroke is to prevent future occurrences and minimize the risk of further complications.

NCCT is not sensitive enough to diagnose acute lacunar infarctions. FLAIR sequences and T2-weighted imaging may fail to detect lacunar infarct in as many as 25% of cases. DWI, however, may be useful in identifying small subcortical infarcts. While there is not enough information to make a definitive diagnosis, it is a valuable diagnostic tool.

New lacunar infarcts in the basal ganglia are often associated with cerebrovascular disease. The risk factors for these infarcts may differ, but a history of cerebrovascular disease may not be a cause. If you have a family history of small-vessel disease, you may want to consider getting screened for this condition as soon as possible. If you think you are at high risk for the condition, your doctor can prescribe an appropriate treatment.

Patients with a history of lacunar infarction should undergo a diagnostic imaging test to determine if this is the cause of the symptoms. Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) may be helpful. The results of the imaging tests may include intravenous contrast. If a ruptured aneurysm is suspected, a blood clot may occur within the subarachnoid space, causing ischemia and potentially damaging consequences.

The authors of a recent study found that a large number of patients with a lacunar infarct had a high-risk score on MRI. Furthermore, a high-risk score, history of cerebrovascular disease, and baseline white matter hyperintensity volume, were also associated with a higher risk of the condition. This finding suggests that the etiology of lacunar infarcts in the deep white matter and basal ganglia are different.

The incidence of occlusive carotid artery disease and middle cerebral artery disease were associated with higher risk of lacunar infarct. Although there is still a lack of consensus on a cause of lacunar infarcts, the presence of vascular risk factors was associated with a higher incidence of the disease. The risk of a stroke or ischemic heart disease (CSVD) increased significantly in patients with a lacunar infarct.

In addition to advanced age, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and alcohol consumption all increase the risk of developing a lacunar stroke. The stroke also puts people at risk of developing dementia and subsequent strokes. Early diagnosis and treatment is crucial in preventing irreversible brain damage. As the blood supply is restricted, brain cells will die, causing permanent damage. Most people with lacunar infarcts are men.

A lacunar stroke may produce various symptoms. These symptoms depend on which region of the brain has been damaged. Because different parts of the brain control different aspects of the body, there is a likelihood that a lesion in one part of the brain will impact the opposite side. If the stroke affects one side of the body, the symptoms of lacunar infarct may not be immediately apparent. In some cases, hemiparesis can be accompanied by dysarthria or dysphagia.

CTP has shown superiority over NCCT/CTA in the detection of lacunar infarcts. In a study of 1085 CTP examinations, the researchers evaluated the ability of the technique to identify lacunae. The study also analyzed MRI scans done within 7 days of the initial stroke symptoms. Infarcts with a width of 2 cm were recorded. These infarcts were categorized based on the NIHSS scoring system.

A lacunar infarct is a non-cortical stroke that accounts for about 25 percent of all ischemic strokes. It is generally considered to be a benign vascular lesion, with a favorable prognosis if detected in the early stages. However, once an infarct has occurred, the risk of a secondary cardiovascular event increases substantially. Prognosis varies depending on age, vascular risk factors, and the severity of the patient's cerebral small-vessel disease. Patients with lacunar infarctions are at higher risk of another stroke and may develop dementia.
