In a consecutive study comprising 41 patients with completed stroke of less than 72 h duration, cerebral angiography and measurement of the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) were performed within 24 h after admission. The rCBF study was done using the 133Xe intracarotid injection method and a 254 multi-detector camera. CT [computed tomography] scan was done 24 h after the rCBF study. Focal cerebral hyperemia was found in 16 patients. The study revealed 3 different types of hyperemia. Border-zone hyperemia, surrounding ischemic areas, was seen in patients with occluded arteries on angiography, presumably resulting from accumulation of acid metabolites in the border-zone of acute infarcts. Postischemic hyperemia was seen in patients witohout occlusion, presumably due to recanalization of a prior occluded artery. Remote hyperemia was found distant from the infarcted area, presumably due to local tissue pressure on brain tissue. Cortical infarcts (10 patients) all had extensive hyperemic areas. Because the 254 detector camera has an excellent resolution in the cortical surface, apparently all acute cerebral infarcts are, in fact, associated with hyperemic areas. The hyperemic areas are often extensive and vascular reactivity is commonly impaired. Treatment aimed at reducing blood flow in hyperemic areas might improve prognosis.
