ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the early CT manifestation of middle cerebral artery infarction(mMCAI).Method The case-control study of 36 cases with pairs were reviewed through comparative study for mMCAI cases and controls who had acute cerebral middle artery infarction but non-malignant,the two groups severely matched at age and sex.Results As the criteria of predictable the mMCAI,such as the insular ribbon sign,hypodensity development,hemispheric brain swelling,midline shift exhibited high specificity(80 6%,88 3%,97 2%,100%,respectively),but low sensitivity(52 8%,44 4%,16 7%,25%,respectively),Youdon Index
