The MRI confirms the clinical diagnosis of subacute (10 days in this case) right thalamic lacunar infarct and illustrates the following signal characteristics frequently seen with subacute infarction: ...

Lacunar Infarction: (Left) Flair axial MRI: (Right) Diffusion-weighted MRI. Note the numerous white matter lesions in the Flair image, consistent with small vessel disease. However, it is not possible ...

September 4, 2012 — Adding clopidogrel to aspirin in patients with a recent lacunar stroke does not reduce the risk for stroke recurrence, was associated with an unanticipated increase in mortality, ...
