Novel quantitative approach for crossed cerebellar diaschisis detection in acute ischemic stroke using CT perfusion

Crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) is a common finding in hyper-acute ischemic stroke, related to supratentorial dysfunction of the contralateral hemisphere. Several studies investigated a possible relationship between CCD and clinical outcomes but still no evidence emerged. We used a novel quantitative whole cerebellum analysis using CT perfusion (CTP) imaging to investigate the relationship between CCD and stroke severity, hypoperfused volume and outcome measures.
