Incidence and clinical features of acute multiple small cerebellar infarction

CONCLUSION: In patients with acute cerebellar infarction, 30% of patients presented with MSCI. MSCI and LCI showed similar vascular risk factors and vascular stenosis in the posterior circulation system. Patients with MSCI should pay more attention to evaluating anterior circulation vessels' anatomy. Large-artery atherosclerosis was the main pathogenesis of acute MSCI. Assessment of cerebral vessels might be critically required in patients with MSCI complicated atrial fibrillation.PMID:36174324 | DOI:10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2022.106777
