Case 407: Six months after a cerebral infarction

Age: 82
Gender: female
Same patient as in case: 405  406 

Reading

Left occipital side is unchanged (b,c). The hypodense area in the left parietooccipital region (d,e) is less prominent than after a month. In addition the left occipital horn has grown larger, as a consequence of the infarction area getting smaller. The damage will from now on remain unchanged. There are no new lesions, but recurrent attacks may be caused by a focus sending thrombi to the brain e.g. from stenoses in the carotids, thrombi in the arteries, diseases of the aorta.

Conclusion

OLD INFARCTION IN THE LEFT OCCIPITAL AND LEFT PARIETOOCCIPITAL REGION.
