Abstract

One of leading causes of death in the world is stroke, more often it strikes population under the age of 65, and those who survive it are left with a maximum degree of invalidity. Supratentorial infarcts are the most common form of ACM, occuring as a consequence of blood vessel occlusion, which irrigation zone is above tentorium, and it appears in 80% of infarcts. Diagnosing of such infarcts is based on clinical and neuroradiological parameters, and computed tomografy is called "gold standard". Therefor, our goal was to introduce a CT parameters, which follow complications of supratentorial infarcts and have predictional character. A prospective study followed the state of 60 patients with supratentorial infarcts of brain, performed CT diagnostics, established infarct complication parameters and their effects on clinical state and diseases outcome. Large tentorial infarcts in ACM vascularisation zone, mass-effects and mediosagital structure motions are significant predictors of infarct ill outcome when it comes to surviving and functional recovery.
