Using clinical and computed tomography (CT) criteria, an analysis of 2,000 consecutive stroke unit patients from 1977 to 1984 revealed 30 patients with cerebellar infarction. The case fatality rate was 23%, higher than for any other location of brain infarction studied over the same period. Death was most often due to concomitant brainstem infarction. Obstructive hydrocephalus occurred in 4 pat...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The brain stem is the most important autonomic processing center, but very little attention has been given to clinical manifestations of autonomic failure in brain stem stroke. Our purpose was to evaluate the prevalence, characteristics, and prognostic significance of sweating dysfunction in brain stem infarctions. METHODS We carried out a prospective study using quanti...

Rapid and targeted diagnostic evaluation is essential in the clinical diagnosis of cerebral ischaemic infarction. According to the principle “time is brain”, clinical evaluation should be performed as a matter of urgency to initiate potential treatment without any delay. Cerebral infarction is a medical emergency and accordingly, patients with suspected cerebral infarction have priority in the ...

Between 1967 and 1976, 314 patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) were evaluated and treated. Follow-up has been from 2.8 to 13.2 years (mean 7.8). As of 1979, 55 of the patients had succumbed to cardiovascular disease (28), cerebrovascular disease (9), malignancy (10), and other causes (8). During the follow-up period, 15 patients suffered brain infarction (4.8% under the risk) while 40...

Brain tumour is an abnormal growth of brain cells within the brain. Detection of brain tumour is a challenging problem, due to complex structure of the brain. The automatic segmentation has great potential in clinical medicine by freeing physicians from the burden of manual labelling; whereas only a quantitative measurement allows to track and modelling precisely the disease. Magnetic resonance...
