Magnetic resonance imaging of small medullary infarctions
AJ Fox, J Bogousslavsky, LS Carey, HJ Barnett, S Vinitski, SJ Karlik, F Vinuela, DM Pelz and V Hachinski
Small infarctions of the medulla produce typical neurologic deficits and can be clinically recognized fairly reliably. High-field magnetic resonance imaging with a 1.5 T prototype scanner successfully demonstrated very tiny medulla infarctions in three of five patients. These lesions were imaged readily by a fairly rapid (approximately 1-2 min scan time) partial-saturation technique and confirmed on multiple spin-echo images. In addition, in two cases vertebral occlusion ipsilateral to the infarction was suggested by high signal on T2 weighted spin-echo images.
