Abstract:
Capsular warning syndrome (CWS) is a subtype of recurrent stereotyped transient ischemic attacks that heralds a subsequent stroke.The mainly presumed mechanism is repeated bursts of ischemia in the region of penetrating arteries,since the structural changes of large arteries is rare in series of imaging examinations.The majority of the infarct is located in the internal capsule or pontine.CWS is usually therapeutically resistant to simple traditional antithrombotic treatment,while combined antiplatelet treatment,thrombolysis,endovascular intervention and antiepileptics may protect part of the patients from developing into permanent infarcts.
