Background: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) may deteriorate the outcome
of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) .The aim of this study was to determine whether
increase microvascular permeability (PS) of the blood-brain- barrier (BBB) could
be found in early AIS by using first pass dynamic perfusion computed
tomography(PCT) and a predictor of HT
Materials and methods: Thirty patients with AIS less than 4.5 hrs old were
enrolled into the study, PS color maps were prospectively generated from
PCT data using Patlak model. One reader study each PS map by drawing 2
circulars (size about 10 mms in diameter) of the region of interest on any focal
abnormality .The mean of these 2 regions of interest represent the PS of the
infarct (PS infarct ).The mean of 2 mirror regions of interest on the non- ischemic
contra lateral hemisphere were also obtained (PS control ). PS infarct and PS control
were compared with each other using T- test as well as the PS that become
HT
hemorrhagic transformation (PS )and that not (PS NOHT )
Result: Twenty infarcts (67%)shows focal PS elevation in the region of infarct in
unites of mL / 100 mLs / minute, PS infarct ranged from 2.9 to 13.0(mean
4.5±3.3)versus PS control of 0.0-0.9(Mean0.3±0.3) ,five patient (16.7%)developed
