Abstract

Cerebral infarcts resulting from long past vascular occlusions present no difficutlies in diagnosis (5) by computer-tomography. The diagnosis of recent vascular occlusions, on the other hand, poses greater problems in computed tomography (CT) because of the large numer of possible alterations and the danger of misinterpretation.
