[Scintigraphic studies in stroke].

The authors report the results of scintigraphic investigations in 70 patients treated for brain strokes. The diagnostic and prognostic values of these investigations were estimated. It was observed that ischaemic foci were present most frequently in the area of vascularization of the middle cerebral artery. The intensity of neurological signs was correlated with the size of the pathological focus in the cerebral scintiscan. A close relationship was observed between improvement in the neurological status of the patients and regression of pathological changes in control scintigrams.
