The aim of this study is to delineate the characteristics of acute cerebral infarction in patients with active malignancy using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). Materials and Methods: Seventy consecutive patients with both active malignancy and acute cerebral infarction (confirmed by DWI) were retrospectively included. These 70 were divided into 3 groups on the basis of infarct pattern: embolic infarction, large artery disease, and lacunar infarction. Medical records were reviewed in detail for demographic data, cancer information, vascular risk factors, and prognosis. Results: Two thirds of cancer patients had multiple infarcts, and 30% of infarcts were located infratentorially. Embolic infarction, large artery disease, and lacunar infarction occurred in 60, 31, and 9% of cancer patients, respectively. Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer was significantly related to embolic infarction (odds ratio 4.64, p = 0.04). The 3-month mortality rates were higher in patients with rather than without cancer metastasis (68 vs. 8%; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Cerebral infarcts in cancer patients tended to be embolic and multiple. Patients with GI cancer were particularly susceptible to embolic infarction. ? 2009 S. Karger AG, Basel. |
