Clinical Analysis For Brain Stem Infarction Patients In The Hospital Of Dunhua City

Objective: To explore susceptible factors, clinical features, diagnosis and treatments of brain stem infarction.Method: To retrospectively analyse 126 cases of brain stem infarction in the Hospital of Dunhua City from 1998 to 2004 .Results: 1. Hypertention, senility, diabetes, hyperlipemia,and blood rheolgy abnormality are the main susceptible factors of brain stem infarction, with the percentahe of 76.9%, 61.0%, 54.3%, 30.2%,21.4%,15.9%.2.Besides crossed paralysis (32.5%),brain stem infarction has multiple symptoms of cranial nevers (32.5%) and can be asymptomatic(7.2%).3. MRI is superior to CT in diagnosis of brain setm infarction. 4. The predilection cites of focuci for brain stem infarction are located in pons, medulla oblongata and midbrain in sequence. 5. The factors redlated to prognosis of brain stem infarction are the cite of focuci. the age of patient, the length of time between attack and reciption of treatment of patients. The bigger the brain stem infarction focuci and the more senior the patients are, the worse the prognosis is, p<0.05.The death rate of the medulla oblongate is higher than that of the pons infarction and midbrain infarction. 6.The early and multiple methods in therapy can make prognosis better and reduce the death rate of brainstem infarction. Conclusion: To the patients with sesceptible factors of brainstem infarction and cranial...
