Analysis of clinical manifestations and magnetic resonance imaging features of 53 patients with cerebellar infarction

Objective: To investigate the clinical manifestations and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) features of cerebellar infarction.Methods: Clinical data and MRI data of 53 patients with cerebellar infarction in our hospital were analyzed.Results: 38 patients(71.69%) showed the clinical manifestation of vertigo,and 17 patients(32.07%) lacked neurological signs of positive orientation.The positive rate of cranial CT diagnosis was 22.64% while that of cranial MRI diagnosis was 100.00%.Cerebellar infarction of 35 patients(71.69%) involved the PICA blood supply area.35 cases(71.42%) of the 49 patients receiving routine MRA tests had hemadostenosis or vascular occlusion.Conclusion: The main clinical manifestation of cerebellar infarction of this group is vertigo.About 30% of the patients lack neurological signs of positive orientation which are easily misdiagnosed.Cranial MRI is better than cranial CT in the early diagnosis of cerebellar infarction.The most frequently involved infarction area is the PICA blood supply area.
