The presence of a dense appearance of the horizontal part of the middle cerebral artery (the "dense middle cerebral artery sign") was looked for on CT scans taken on admission in 90 consecutive patients with ischemic stroke in the carotid artery distribution. The outcome of the 14 patients with the sign was poorer than that of 76 patients without the sign (Odds ratio 4.3). We suggest that this sign could be a useful prognostic variable in the acute phase of an ischemic stroke.
在连续90例颈动脉分布区缺血性卒中患者入院时进行的CT扫描中，寻找大脑中动脉水平段的高密度表现（“大脑中动脉高密度征”）。14例出现该征象患者的预后比76例未出现该征象患者的预后差（比值比4.3）。我们认为该征象可能是缺血性卒中急性期一个有用的预后变量。
