Association between Small Deep Cerebellar Ischemic Lesion and Small-Vessel Disease

Association between Small Deep Cerebellar Ischemic Lesion and Small-Vessel Disease

Background: Pathologic investigations showed that lacunar infarction could develop in the deep cerebellar region. However, the etiology of small deep cerebellar ischemic lesions (SDCI) has not been adequately studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between SDCI and small-v...

Zusammenfassung:Background: Pathologic investigations showed that lacunar infarction could develop in the deep cerebellar region. However, the etiology of small deep cerebellar ischemic lesions (SDCI) has not been adequately studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between SDCI and small-vessel disease. Methods: We studied 100 consecutive patients who had both (1) acute ischemic stroke (index stroke) confirmed by diffusion-weighted MRI and (2) evidence of a chronic small cerebellar ischemic lesion (
