Abstract:
Objective To investigate the characteristics of Wallerian degeneration (WD) of secondary pyramidal tract after supratentorial cerebrovascular diseases, and to study the relationship between secondary WD and clinical performance. Methods We retrospectively reviewed and investigated the results of brain CT films of 272 cases suffered from supratentorial cerebral vascular diseases during 2001 till 2004. The number of supratentorial disorders was counted respectively in WD group and non-WD group, the distribution feature of these disorders was analyzed, and the changes in the cerebral peduncles of the midbrain and Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADLs) were determined. The information obtained was analyzed statistically respectively. Results Seventy-four cases of secondary WD were found, the rate of WD outbreak was 27.2%. In WD group, the ipsilateral cerebral peduncle of supratentorial disorder was significantly narrower than contralateral cerebral peduncle (P
