Cortical Cerebellar Infarctions Associated With Patent Foramen Ovale in Young Stroke Patients

France50 participantsStarted 2019-07-25

Plain-language summary

The investigator retrospectively analyzed consecutive young (\<60 years) cryptogenic stroke patients with Patient Foramen Ovale (PFO) recruited between January 2016 and May 2019 in our center, and compared these patients with sex- and age-matched controls with cryptogenic stroke without PFO. Analyzed baseline characteristics: sex, age, cardiovascular risk factors, history of stroke, and cortical/subcortical localization, arterial territory, number of lesions, and lesion size of the acute symptomatic infarction, together with the ROPE score. The presence and the number of acute and chronic SCCI lesions were assessed.
