Abstract :

OJECTIVES :The study aims to determine metabolite abnormalities in complete infarct region of the ain. METHODOLOGY: 34 patients referred to the department of radiology with imaging evidence of hemispheric ischemic stroke were subjected to MR Spectroscopy on 1.5 Tesla MRI. RESULTS: Out of 34 cases, in infarct region, elevated lactate was present in 100% , decreased NAA in 94%, while reduced choline was noted in 53% and increased in 47% of study population. In assumed penuma region, elevated lactate was present in 76% , decreased NAA in 76.5% cases, while reduced choline was noted in 41% and increased in 59% of study population. CONCLUSION: This study has concluded that lactate was present in both the infarct and penuma region. NAA was significantly reduced in the infarct region and mild decrease in the assumed penuma. Choline was decreased and increased in both the infarct region and penuma region.
