Abstract:
Objective: Isolated pontine infarcts (IPI) are seen commonly and known to be without any other serebral infarcts.
Material and methods: The patients who are hospitalized between August 1 2019- March 1 2020 in xxxx Education and Research Hospital with isolated pontine infarcts (IPI) were analyzed retrospectively. Depending on the distribution area of the pons arteries, pons infarcts are divided into 5 subtypes: anteromedial, anterolateral, tegmental, bilateral and unilateral multiple pons infarcts. The infarcts are also determined segmentally: upper, middle and lower.
Results: 70 patients out of 80 are included in this study. The mean age is 64.5±1.19 (min:33 max: 88). The mean NIHSS is 3.98±2.8. 70% of the patients are male. The most common risk factor is hypertension (78.6%). 38 patients has anteromedial IPI (54.3%), 13 patients has anterolateral IPI (18.6%), 11 patients has tegmental IPI (15.7%), 7 patients has unilaterally multifocal IPI (10%) and 1 patient has bilateral IPI(1.4%). The most common segmental location is found to be in middle pons (44.3%) while 25 of them in the lower pons (35.9% )and 14 of them in the upper pons (20%).
Conclusion: We found out anteromedial infarcts are the most common localization in this study (54.3%). The most common risk factors are found to be HT, HPL and DM.
