Vascular watershed or border-zone infarctions occur at the most distal areas between arterial territories (see the image below). They are believed to be secondary to embolic phenomenon or due to

infarct in relationship to the perfusion territories of the brain-feeding arteries may be used for conﬁrm-ing the thromboembolic source in patients with symptomatic carotid disease, and also for identify-ing ‘border zone’ or ‘watershed’ infarcts in patients with compromised cerebral perfusion.1 Standardised perfusion territory atlases of the

The intrahemispheric and interhemispheric distribution of cortical watershed infarcts varied from case to case. The microinfarcts were more numerous in the parieto-occipital region, particularly in the watershed zones of anterior and middle cerebral arteries. The external or cortical border zones are located at the junctions of the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral artery territories. Infarcts in the anterior external border zones and paramedian white matter are found at the junction of the territories supplied by the anterior and middle cerebral arteries, and those in the parieto-occipital areas (posterior external border zones) are found A watershed infarct is a stroke caused by a drop in circulating pressure and or volume that results in critical ischaemia or infarction between territories.

and those in the parieto-occipital areas Watershed cerebral infarctions, and affect a parieto-temporooccipital wedge extending from the occipital horn of the lateral ventricle to the parieto-occipital cortex [30].IWS infarcts can affect the corona radiata Ten of 16 (62.5%), patients with MCA occlusive disease produced this combination pattern of infarct. In the parieto-occipital region, the involvement of the watershed zone between the posterior and middle cerebral arteries was observed on the left side in 4 of the 5 cases . We did not observe any cortical microinfarcts in or outside watershed areas in the sixth case selected from the AD group, in which cortical infarct was not found by the standard procedure.

On the basis of imaging, internal watershed infarcts can be further classified into Multiple areas of restricted diffusion are seen involving r MRI of brain showed acute infarct in the left MCA-PCA watershed territory. Figure 4: Diffusion-weighted image shows acute infarct in left parieto-occipital area In 1961, Zulch clearly defined the watershed infarct as an ischemic lesion it was visible in the occipital lobe 2 cm posterior to the parieto-occipital fissure.

This article explains the pathophysiology of stroke at the molecular and cellular levels with corresponding changes on stroke, venous infarction, watershed infarction restricted diffusion are seen involving right occipital, A,

Bilateral infarctions can also be seen in a variety of other clinical settings, including hypertensive crisis, cerebral hypoperfusion, basilar artery embolism or trans-tentorial herniation.

Classically between MCA and ACA or MCA and PCA. The actual blood stream blockage/restriction site can be located far away from the infarct. Location of stroke: A lacunar infarct is a small stroke, usually deep in the brain matter. Periventricular means near the ventricles also deep in the brain.

Due to cerebral venous thrombosis: - increased venous pressure, increased capillary pressure - blood brain barrier disruption - vasogenic oedema (leading to failure of energy metabolism), venous haemorrhage (capillary or venule rupture) A watershed infarct is a stroke caused by a drop in circulating pressure and or volume that results in critical ischaemia or infarction between territories. Classically between MCA and ACA or MCA and PCA. The actual blood stream blockage/restriction site can be located far away from the infarct. Location of stroke: A lacunar infarct is a small stroke, usually deep in the brain matter. Periventricular means near the ventricles also deep in the brain. A stroke in t magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, which revealed evolving late subacute infarcts involving the bilateral parieto-occipital cortices and no acute intracranial hemorrhages (Figure 1A) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) of the brain, which revealed possible arterial dissection involving bilateral distal vertebral and proximal basilar arteries.

Wondergem** Introduction Cerebral watershed infarctions occur in the boundary zones between the anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries, usually after acute episodes of severe hypotension. Se hela listan på radiopaedia.org watershed infarct: [wô′tərshed] an area of necrosis in the brain caused by an insufficiency of blood where the distributions of cerebral arteries overlap. The condition resembles that of an agricultural field irrigation system, in which the most distant sections may not be irrigated if there is a fall in water pressure. We describe the remarkable case of a medically healthy right-handed 15-year-old boy who developed an ischemic infarct of the banks of the right parieto-occipital sulcus (POs).

Infarcts in the anterior external border zones and paramedian white matter are found at the junction of the territories supplied by the anterior and middle cerebral arteries, and those in the parieto-occipital areas (posterior external border zones) are found at the junction of the territories supplied by the middle and posterior cerebral arteries.
