CT and cerebral ischemic infarcts. Correlations between morphological and clinical-prognostic findings

A total of 66 patients with supratentorial ischemic infarct underwent serial CT scans in order to study the relationship between CT images and clinical evolution of the infarct. Little information of prognostic value is given by CT in patients with slight neurological deficits, whereas it enables factors with a negative influence on the prognosis to be identified in patients with moderate to severe deficits.
