There was a total occlusion of the artery supplying the territory of the infarct in 45 of 50 consecutive lacunes, and segmental arterial disorganization has been discussed in some detail.

Lacunar Infarction and Small Vessel Disease: Pathology and Pathophysiology

Two major vascular pathologies underlie brain damage in patients with disease of small size penetrating brain arteries and arterioles; 1) thickening of the arterial media and 2) obstruction of the…

Lacunar versus non-lacunar syndromes.

These findings suggest that lacunar stroke is not always a benign disease, and clinical features may be significant in terms of disability in lacunae in close proximity to crucial anatomical site.

Expanding Cerebellar Lacunes Due to Dilatation of the Perivascular Space Associated With Binswanger's Subcortical Arteriosclerotic Encephalopathy

An 80-year-old hypertensive woman developed right hemiplegia and died 24 hours after admission, and multiple cerebral infarcts of various ages and diffuse subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy were revealed, suggesting a common pathophysiologic mechanism possibly including an alteration of the blood-brain barrier.

Should patients with lacunar stroke and severe carotid artery stenosis undergo endarterectomy?

The concept of lacunar infarction has been long recognized, but it was Fisher who first drew attention to the association with distinct clinical syndromes, and the evidence that patients with LI are likely to benefit from this procedure is searched.

PROGRESS IN CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE Lacunes

In 29 of the 30 cases a lesion was found which could explain the PMH, and it is suggested that type HI involves the territory of the internal lenticulostriate branches of the anterior cerebral artery.

Spuriously Large Subcortex Infarct due to Confluent Smaller Lesions: A Diffusion-Weighted MRI/CT Study

A case with two small lacunes seen on diffusion-weighted MRI that merged to form a giant lacunar infarct seen on CT is reported, which is believed to provide CT documentation of the pathogenesis of giant Lacunar Infarcts.

Lacunar Infarction

Several studies using diffusion-weighted MRI (dwMRI) show that a small subcortical ischemic area corresponding to the territory of a penetrating artery is the most common finding, being present in 84% to 94% of patients with a lacunar syndrome.

Distribution of lacunes in cerebral amyloid angiopathy and hypertensive small vessel disease

Lobar lacunes seem to have a close relationship with WMH, suggesting a possible common origin, and lobar lacunes are associated with CAA, whereas deep Lacunes are more frequent in HTN-SVD.

Lacunes

While it was possible to correlate lacunes with the occurrence of cerebral atherosclerosis and arterial hypertension, the clinical details in the cases were so deficient that a good clinicopathologic correlation could not be made.

Hypertensive fibrinoid arteritis of the brain and gross cerebral hemorrhage: a form of "hyalinosis".

The infarct, an area of necrosis due to ischemia, may be associated with a varying degree of hemorrhage in the form of isolated or confluent petechiae, and this hemorrhage may be minimal, moderate, or severe in degree.
