... Abstract The superficial middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory includes the greater part of the lateral surface of the cerebral hemisphere. It is the most frequent infarct in MCA ischemic cerebrovascular pathology. It is divided into 12 areas supplied by 12 different arteries referred...

... Abstract Lenticulostriate infarcts result from ischemia within the territory supplied by the deep perforating branches of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). They are too often associated with infarctions of the deep perforating branches of the internal carotid artery. Lenticulostriate arteries...

... behavioral disorders, including the grasp reflex and the alien hand sign, can present as callosal disconnection signs. Transcortical aphasia and urinary incontinence are other frequent symptoms. A non-throbbing headache is common at stroke onset in patients with ACA dissection. Cerebral infarcts...

...) of an anterior choroidal artery (AChA) infarct may not only play a diagnostic role but may also significantly contribute to the prognostic evaluation in AChA stroke patients. Anatomy The AChA commonly originates from the posterior wall of the internal carotid artery ( fig. 1 ) 2-5 mm distal...

... Abstract Large middle cerebral artery (MCA) and panhemispheric stroke represent a minority of cerebral ischemic events, yet they are responsible for a disproportionate share of morbidity and mortality. Malignant infarction with formation of cerebral edema is a common cause for secondary...

... Abstract In experimental myocardial infarction, activated polymorphonuclears (PMN) have been shown to have a detrimental role in ischemic myocardial damage because of their progressive capillary plugging and their cytotoxic actions, such as production of free oxygen radicals and release...
