V T Miller

    Archives of Neurology
    |March 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Lacunar infarcts, often seen in hypertensive patients, can cause specific syndromes. Computed tomography (CT) aids diagnosis, supporting conservative management focused on risk factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Cerebrovascular Disease

    Background:

    • Lacunar infarcts are small, deep cerebral lesions associated with hypertension.
    • Pathogenesis is linked to small-vessel disease, historically leading to conservative management.
    • Clinical syndromes, though nonspecific, can suggest lacunar infarction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review recent information on lacunar disease.
    • To suggest modifications in patient management.
    • To confirm the role of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of recently acquired information on lacunar disease.
    • Analysis of clinical syndromes associated with lacunar infarcts.
    • Utilizing computed tomography (CT) for diagnostic confirmation.

    Main Results:

    • Computed tomography (CT) offers new insights into lacunar disease.
    • Clinical lacunar syndromes, while nonspecific, are indicative of lacunar infarction.
    • Conservative diagnostic and management approaches remain relevant.

    Conclusions:

    • Hypertensive patients with lacunar syndromes and CT-confirmed infarcts benefit from conservative management.
    • Medical management of risk factors is crucial.
    • CT plays a vital role in diagnosing lacunar infarction.
