Cerebellar infarction. Clinical and neuroimaging analysis in 293 patients. The Tohoku Cerebellar Infarction Study Group.

Abstract

These data indicate similar frequencies of SCA and PICA infarcts and illustrate the difference in clinical presentation and outcomes between SCA and PICA infarcts. They also indicate that not only in situ thrombosis but also cardiogenic or artery-to-artery embolism and the insufficiency of collateral circulation play important roles in the pathogenesis of cerebellar infarction.
