| Abstract |
|
Cerebral infarction, especially in elderly patients, is one of the leading causes of death and disability. In cases of
common vascular territorial infarctions, with advancement of modern magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized
tomography (CT) technologies such as diffusion MRI and CT angiography, prompt diagnosis and management
are much easier than past era. But, some cases of unusual infarctions need sophisticated assessment thorough
knowledge of neuroanatomy and high index of suspicion. We present unusual medial medullary infarction, high
cervical cord infarction, misdiagnosed infarction of cervical spine stenosis, embolic infarction from fusiform aneurysm
and hemorrhagic infarction of sagittal sinus thrombosis with review of literatures. Individualized stepwise diagnostic
and therapeutic approaches are warranted. |
