FRCR MCQ ---NEURO MUDULE (INFARCTION)


What is approximate age of infarction in A and D image?


ANS—

A.-- ADC values seen to be low within hours after the stroke and continue to decline for the next few days. They remain reduced through the first 4 to 5 days after stroke and then undergo pseudonormalization between 4 and 10 days . After this the ADC subsequently has been found to rise in the lesion (i.e., the ADC map shows hyperintensity) beyond 10 days  So,approximate age of infarction in A is less than 4—5 days while that of D is about more than ten days.
