Combined diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) reveal distinct patterns of perfusion abnormalities in borderzone infarcts, correlating with underlying stroke mechanisms like hypotension, embolism, or large-artery disease.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Stroke Pathophysiology
  • Cerebrovascular Disease

Background:

  • The underlying mechanisms of borderzone infarcts remain incompletely understood.
  • Identifying distinct pathophysiological categories is crucial for understanding stroke etiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the utility of combined diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) in categorizing borderzone infarcts.
  • To correlate imaging findings with potential stroke mechanisms.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 17 patients with borderzone infarcts.
  • Acquisition of DWI and PWI, primarily within 24 hours of symptom onset.
  • Classification of perfusion abnormalities into three patterns.

Main Results:

  • Three perfusion patterns were identified: normal perfusion (n=5), localized deficits (n=5), and extensive deficits (n=7).
  • Pattern 1 associated with hypotension; Pattern 2 with embolism; Pattern 3 with large-artery stenosis/occlusion.
  • Reperfusion was observed in Pattern 2 patients undergoing follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Perfusion abnormalities on DWI/PWI correlate with borderzone infarct mechanisms.
  • Hypotension-related infarcts may not always show perfusion deficits on PWI.
  • Embolism and severe large-artery disease are significant contributors to borderzone infarcts.
