FOCAL CORTICAL ATROPHY AFTER MYOCARDIAL INTERNAL CAPSULE: CORRELATION FRACTION ANISOTROPY BEAM PYRAMID AND DISABILITY
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Additional MRI for Ischemic Stroke. Completed, enrolled 21 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Primary purpose of the trial is to demonstrate the arisen of focal cortical atrophy, localized in the ipsilateral primary motor area, measured in mm, three months after infarction of internal capsule. The patient is compared to himself between day zero to ten and three months. The study hypotheses are: * A focal cortical atrophy of the ipsilesional primary motor area occurs after cerebral infarction of the internal capsule. It is measurable accurately and reproducibly by MRI at three months. Other brain areas within the voluntary motor system will also be explored (supplementary motor area, pre motor area). * This atrophy is correlated with achievement of pyramidal tract, assessed by the fractional anisotropy of its fibers. * This atrophy is correlated with disability at three months, assessed by Rankin score.
