RESUMO
Clinical data of 83 patients with symptomatic CT detected small deep infarcts in one of the cerebral hemispheres were retrospectively reviewed. 61 Percent had hypertension. In 15 percent a cardiac embolus was the most probable cause of a small deep infarct. In 22 cases angiography had been performed and ipsilateral internal carotid stenosis was present in 6 cases. It is suggested that small deep infarcts visible on CT may be caused by cardiac emboli and artery-to-artery emboli from carotid lesions, besides small vessel disease due to hypertension. Therefore anticoagulation or angiography, if need be, followed by carotid endarterectomy, may be indicated in a number of cases.
