Anterior Cerebral Artery Territory Infarction in the Lausanne Stroke Registry

Comparison of Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke in the Medical Ward of Dessie Referral Hospital, Northeast Ethiopia: A Retrospective Study

“…The frequency of ACA territory infarctions was 27 in IS and 8 in HS cases. This observation was in agreement with the results of previous studies which also reported 27 IS cases in the Lausanne Stroke Registry [ 21 ], however, lower than the number in Barcelona, Spain, which reported 51 cases [ 22 ].…”

Difference in Infarct Volume and Patterns between Cardioembolism and Internal Carotid Artery Disease: Focus on the Degree of Cardioembolic Risk and Carotid Stenosis

“…Although CE was thought to be related to multiple ischemic lesions in multiple cerebrovascular territories, previous studies had shown that CE was associated with large territorial infarcts [14,15]. Our results are in agreement with these findings.…”

Infarction in the territory of the anterior cerebral artery: clinical study of 51 patients

“…Infarctions were considered of cardioembolic origin according to criteria recommended by the Cerebrovascular Study Group of the Spanish Society of Neurology [ 5 ] and defined as a medium-to-large size cerebral infarction, usually of cortical topography in which in the absence of other etiologies, some of the following emboligenous cardiac disorders are documented: atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation, intracardiac thrombus or tumor, rheumatic valve disease, mitral or aortic valve prosthesis, endocarditis, sinus node disease, left ventricular aneurysm after acute myocardial infarction, acute myocardial infarction in the acute phase (less than 3 months) or global cardiac hypokinesia. The identification of cardioembolism as the aetiology of stroke in 45% of our patients is similar to the percentages of 45.7% reported in the studies of Moulin et al [ 15 ] and Vemmos et al [50%] but clearly higher than 25% found in the studies of Bougousslavki and Regli [ 13 ] and 27% in the study of Kumral et al [ 14 ]. However, all these percentages are consistently higher than the frequency of about 20% attributed to cardioembolism when cerebral infarctions are analysed as a whole [ 21 , 22 ].…”
