Abstract

Objective:To investigate the relation of cerebral blood flow(CBF) and memory in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods:The cerebral blood flow of 30 patients with cerebral infarction and 20 healthy controls was measured. The WMS was used for memory function assessment. Results: CBF and memory performance in patients group were lower than those of controls. There was a statistically significant correlation between CBF and memory performances. Conclusion: The decreasing of CBF was an important causal factor to the memory dysfunction in cerebral infarction patients.
