Small Centrum Ovale Infarcts on Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging Stroke 33:1541-1544, Yoneumura,K.,et al, 2002 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract A small centrum ovale infarct (SCOI), caused by occlusion of the white matter medullary arteries, is often equated with a lacunar infarct. We sought to clarify the clinical characteristics of a SCOI visualized by diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI ) compared with those of a small basal ganglia infarct (SBGI). Symptomatic SCOIs detected by DWI may be associated with large-vessel and heart diseases and should be distinguished from lacunar infarcts.
