Summary

Isolated superior cerebellar artery (SCA) infarcts stem from diverse risk factors and present with varied symptoms. The classic SCA syndrome is rarely observed in these cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Neurology
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Superior cerebellar artery (SCA) territory infarcts are uncommon cerebrovascular events.
  • Understanding their specific etiologies and clinical presentations is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the etiologic factors contributing to isolated SCA territory infarcts.
  • To detail the initial symptoms and clinical manifestations of these specific infarcts.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 21 patients diagnosed with isolated SCA infarcts.
  • Data collection based on computerized tomography (CT) findings.

Main Results:

  • Identified risk factors include hypertension, cardiopathy, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, homeostasis abnormalities, smoking, and oral contraceptive use.
  • Common initial symptoms were headache, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, gait imbalance, and diplopia.
  • Clinical findings included dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesia, dysarthria, ataxia, and vertigo; 19 patients improved, and 2 died. The classic SCA syndrome was rare.

Conclusions:

  • Isolated SCA territory infarcts are associated with multiple risk factors.
  • Clinical features are diverse, and the classic SCA syndrome is infrequently observed or incomplete.
