Cerebrovasc Dis Risk Factors:Neuroradiol Findings in Pts with Activated Protein C Resistance Radiology 207:85-89, Provenzale,J.M.,et al, 1998 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Stroke risk factors or other causes of a hypercoagulable state were found in 12 patients.Arterial infarcts were seen in 18 patients.Hyperintense white matter foci were seen on MR images in six patients.Dural sinus thrombosis was found in four patients.Angiograms of intracranial circulation in six patients showed major artery occlusions in four.MR angiograms in four patients showed internal carotid artery occlusion in one.No major abnormalities were seen in extracranial cerebral vasculature in 15 patients.Transesophageal echocardiograms in 11 patients showed a patient foramen ovale in one patient but no systemic source of embolism. Seven patients had non-central nervous system thrombotic events.Patients with APC resistance and stroke appear to differ from the general stroke population in terms of age and frequency of extracranial sources of cerebrovascular disease.
