Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and pathologic mechanism of basal ganglia calcification combined with cerebral infarction.Methods The clinical data,radiation demonstration and prognosis in 53 cases of cerebral infarction were reviewed retrospectively,31 cases with basal ganglia calcification and 22 cases without basal ganglia calcification.Results Cerebral infarction with basal ganglia calcification mostly occurded in infants and after slight traumar,CT scan all showed lacunar infarction in basal ganglia and MRA demonstrated no severe changes on cerebral vessal.Compared with the infants without basal ganglia calcification,the infants with basal ganglia calcification recovered quickly and had better prognosis.Conclusions The infants of cerebral infarction with basal ganglia calcification had unique clinical characteristics.The occurrence of cerebral infarction is closely associated with basal ganglia calcification which perhaps resulted from cerebral hypoxia and ischemia previously.
