What is left thalamic lacunar infarct?

A thalamic stroke is a type of lacunar stroke, which refers to a stroke in a deep part of your brain. Thalamic strokes occur in your thalamus, a small but important part of your brain.

What does old lacunar infarct mean?

Lacunar infarcts, small deep infarcts that result from occlusion of a penetrating artery, account for about a quarter of all ischaemic strokes. These infarcts have commonly been regarded as benign vascular lesions with a favourable long-term prognosis.

How do I code old lacunar infarct?

A lacunar stroke, also called a lacunar infarct, occurs when an artery that supplies blood to the deeper portions of the brain becomes blocked. Other types of strokes occur on the surface, or cortex, of the brain. Lacunar strokes represent anywhere from 15% to 25% of strokes.

Where is the left thalamus located?

Where is the thalamus located? Your thalamus lies above your brainstem in the middle of your brain. Although it may look like a single structure, you actually have two, side-by-side thalami, one in each hemisphere (side) of your brain.

What is lacunar infarct? Lacunar stroke is a type of ischemic stroke that occurs when blood flow to one of the small arteries deep within the brain becomes blocked.

What's a lacunar stroke?

What is the difference between a TIA and a lacunar infarct?

TIAs may last for a few minutes or up to 24 hours, and are often a warning sign that a stroke may occur. Although usually mild and transient, the symptoms caused by a TIA are similar to those caused by a stroke. Another type of stroke that occurs in the small blood vessels in the brain is called a lacunar infarct.

What causes lacunar infarct?

Lacunar infarctions are small infarcts resulting from occlusion of deep, penetrating end arteries (see the image below). They may be caused by small vessel atherosclerosis and lipohyalinosis related to hypertension or embolic occlusion.
