Abstract
Background – Although b asilar artery atherosclerotic disease (BAD)
is frequent in patients with pontine base infarction, it remains
unknown whether BAD is related to the lesion size or clinical
outcome. Methods – We studied 56 patients with unilateral pontine
base infarction who underwent (i) diffusion-weighted MRI within 4 8 h
after stroke onset and (ii) follow-up MRI and MR angiography in the
subacute stage. Neurologic progression was defined as increased
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score by ‡ 2 during
admission. Clinical outcome was dichotomized as good and poor (‡ 3)
according to the modified Rankin Scale at 1 month a fter stroke
onset. Results – Twenty-t wo patients (39%) had BAD and 15 pat ients
(27%) had neurologic progression. Follow-up MRI performed at
median 3.5  1.1 days after the initial MRI showed the lesion
volume significantly increased (P < 0.001). The BAD was not
significantly related to demographic characteristics, risk factors, i nitial
and f ollow-up lesion volume, neurologic progression and clinical
outcome, but was closely related to the subacute increase in lesion
volume (P = 0.004 for 20% increase, P = 0.029 for 50%
increase). Conclusions – BAD is related to subacute increase in lesion
volume, but not to ultimate poor clinical outcome in patients with
pontine base infarction.
