ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: We made a study of the 79 patients who were discharged from the Instituto Nacional de Neurología (La Havana, Cuba) during 1998, with the diagnosis of cerebral infarct, with the objective of analysing their behavior. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this analysis we considered: the previous clinical history of factors and illnesses of risk, the certainty of the diagnosis in the emergency room, presenting symptoms, clinical signs, vascular territory, etiopathogenic category and results of cranial computerized axial tomography (CAT). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Arterial hypertension, smoking, cerebrovascular disease and ischemic cardiopathy were the commonest clinical features seen. There was close agreement between the diagnosis made in the emergency room and the final diagnosis. The presenting symptoms and clinical signs found in these patients were related to the vascular territory and motor involvement was the most constant. There was predominance of the carotid territory, especially of the left side. We also found predominance of atherothrombotic etiopathogenesis, with fewer cardio-embolic or unknown causes. There were few abnormal cranial CAT findings in patients with lacunar infarcts or infarcts localized to the posterior territory.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Se realizó un estudio en los 79 pacientes que fueron dados de alta durante 1998 del Instituto Nacional de Neurología (La Habana, Cuba) con el diagnóstico de infarto cerebral, con el objetivo de analizar su comportamiento. Pacientes y métodos. Se consideraron para este análisis los antecedentes personales de factores y enfermedades de riesgo, la certeza del diagnóstico en la sala de emergencias, síntomas de debut, signos clínicos, territorio vascular, categoría etiopatogénica y resultado de la tomografía axial computarizada (TAC) craneal. Resultados y conclusiones. La hipertensión arterial, el tabaquismo, la enfermedad cerebrovascular y la cardiopatía isquémica fueron los antecedentes más frecuentemente encontrados. Se observó una alta concordancia del diagnóstico en la sala de emergencias con el diagnóstico final. Los síntomas de debut y los signos clínicos encontrados en estos pacientes estuvieron relacionados con el territorio vascular, siendo más constantes los de afectación motora. Predominó el territorio carotídeo sobre todo del lado izquierdo. Se encontró, además, un predominio de la etiopatogenia aterotrombótica a expensas de bajas frecuencias de las causas cardioembólica e indeterminada. La positividad de la TAC de cráneo fue baja en pacientes con infarto lacunar o infartos de localización en territorio posterior (AU)
