Cavitation of Deep Lacunar Infarcts in Patients With First-Ever Lacunar Stroke

Abstract

Cavitation and lesion shrinkage were seen in almost all symptomatic lacunar infarcts in the deep brain regions over 2-year follow-up. Counting lacunes in these specific regions at a random moment might slightly, however not substantially, underestimate the burden of deep lacunar infarction.
