Transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients often have cerebral blood flow disturbances. Atherosclerosis of cerebral arteries is the primary cause of this hypoperfusion, leading to ischemia.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Cerebral blood flow disturbances can occur in patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), even without symptoms.
  • Understanding the factors causing these abnormalities is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate factors contributing to cerebral blood flow disturbances after TIAs.
  • To compare the diagnostic capabilities of SPECT and CT in detecting lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Studied cerebral blood flow, anatomy, and clinical status in 21 post-TIA patients.
  • Utilized 99mTc-hexamethyl-propylene-amine oxime SPECT and CT scans.
  • Compared SPECT and CT findings with cerebral angiograms, risk factors, and clinical data.

Main Results:

  • SPECT demonstrated higher sensitivity (67%) than CT (19%) in detecting lesions.
  • Larger hypoperfused areas correlated with intracranial, severe stenotic, multiple, or hemodynamically significant ipsilateral arterial lesions.
  • No significant correlations were found with other examined factors.

Conclusions:

  • Hypoperfusion after TIA indicates ongoing cerebral blood flow disturbance.
  • Atherosclerosis of cerebral arteries is the main cause, leading to embolic and/or hemodynamic cerebral ischemia.
