Atherosclerosis Might Be Responsible for Branch Artery Disease: Evidence From White Matter Hyperintensity Burden in Acute Isolated Pontine Infarction

Atherosclerosis Might Be Responsible for Branch Artery Disease: Evidence From White Matter Hyperintensity Burden in Acute Isolated Pontine Infarction

Objective: To investigate an MRI-based etiological classification for acute isolated pontine infarcts and to assess differences in vascular risk factors, clinical characteristics and WMH burden among the etiological subtypes.Methods: All participants from SMART cohort with DWI-proven acute isolated...
