Purpose: To investigate changes over time of
cerebral perfusion and CO2 vasoreactivity (CVR)
after anterior stroke using MRI. Methods: Basal
perfusion with dynamic susceptibility contrast,
and CVR with BOLD contrast measured in 16 stroke
subjects at 35, 50, and 180 days after stroke
onset. Results: Basal perfusion decreased in
both necrotic and perinecrotic rim. In the
undamaged MCA territory, perfusion remained
stable over time. CVR increased in the
perinecrotic rim, but remained stable in the
necrosis and the undamaged MCA territory.
Conclusion: These preliminary results suggest
functional improvement of the perilesional
vasculature during the first 180 days after
stroke.
