Hi my wife undergone cranial mri with gadolinium&dwi,and cranial mra and the impression is this:1.interval evolution of the subacute ischemic infarct in the left medial thalamus and cerebral peduncles.2.chronic lacunar infarcts,right medial thalamus.3.the above lesions sre compatible with artery of percheron infarcts.4.atherosclerotic vessel disease with suggestive proximal cavernous right ica&right a1stenoses.5.if the demonstration of the artery of percheron is warranted,DSA is recommended...what does this means?does my wife has the cance to recover?how does this multiple stroke be treated?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Your wives MRI brain report shows features of multiple infarcts in the brain (blood clots due to lack of blood flow). Treatment would consist of physiotherapy, speech therapy, etc. medications such as aspirin would help in preventing further strokes. Underlying risk factors such as sugar, BP, cholesterol, etc. should be checked and treated too. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
