Brain Scans at Varied Intervals Following C.V.A.

Jackson, Mississippi

ABSTRACT

One-hundred and forty-six brain scans were performed on 129 patients with the clinical diagnosis of cerebrovascular accident. The highest incidence of psositive scans was in the third week after the infarct when 18 of 25 cases were found positive. By repeat scanning on some of the patients a delay in development of a positive scan after the infarct was demonstrated and an evolutionary pattern could be seen. Although some of the scans were indistinguishable from neoplasm, the majority in this study had a characteristic distribution and configuration, illdefined borders, and the uptake was less than is usally seen in neoplasms of similar size.
