Topographic location of unisolated pontine infarction
Abstract Background The topographic location of acute pontine infarction is associated with clinical syndromes and prognosis. Previous studies focused on isolated pontine infarction, but the topographic location of unisolated pontine infarction has remained unclear. Methods This was a prospective, m...

| description | Abstract Background The topographic location of acute pontine infarction is associated with clinical syndromes and prognosis. Previous studies focused on isolated pontine infarction, but the topographic location of unisolated pontine infarction has remained unclear. Methods This was a prospective, multicenter, longitudinal registry study. Patients with acute pontine infarction confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were enrolled. Based on the territory of the pontine artery, the topographic location was divided into anteromedial, anterolateral, tegmental, bilateral and unilateral multiple infarctions. Results From May 1, 2003, to Oct 31, 2017, 1003 patients were enrolled, and 330 had unisolated pontine infarction. For isolated pontine infarction, 44.9, 19.8, 16.0, 13.1 and 6.2% of patients had anteromedial, anterolateral, tegmental, bilateral and unilateral multiple pontine infarctions, respectively. For unisolated pontine infarction, 30.3, 19.7, 24.5, 15.2 and 10.3% of patients had anteromedial, anterolateral, tegmental, bilateral and unilateral multiple pontine infarctions, respectively. Conclusion In this large series study, our data revealed fewer anteromedial infarctions and more tegmental and unilateral multiple infarctions in patients with unisolated pontine infarction than in patients with isolated pontine infarction. |
