Abstract
Objective
To investigate the correlation between fluid-attenuated inversion recovery vascular hyperintensities(FVH) and prognosis and cognitive dysfunction in patients with internal watershed cerebral infarction(IWI).
Methods
Totally106 patients with IWI were selected.According to FVH diagnostic criteria, there were 59 cases in FVH (+ ) group and 47 cases in FVH (-) group.Demographic data and risk factors of cerebrovascular disease were collected to assess the clinical neurological function of the patients at admission and discharge, and the short-term outcome was assessed by modified RANKIN scale (mRS) score at 90 days after discharge.The cognitive function of patients was assessed by MMSE scale.
Results
There was no significant difference in NIHSS score between the two groups on admission (P>0.05). The NIHSS score of FVH (+ ) group((3.37±2.33))at discharge was significantly lower than that of the FVH (-) group ((4.43±2.72))(P 0.05).
Conclusion
FVH has no correlation with the severity of IWI patients when they are admitted to hospital.FVH may be used as an imaging sign for prognosis evaluation of patients with IWI .However, IWI patients with FVH may have more severe cognitive impairment.

期刊介绍:
"Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science" (CN 37-1468/R, ISSN 1674-6554) is a national academic journal under the supervision of the National Health Commission, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and Jining Medical College. The journal was founded in June 1992 and was formerly known as "Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine" (1992-1993) and "Chinese Behavioral Medical Science" (1994-2008). In 2009, it was renamed "Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science" with the approval of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television.
The purpose of "Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science" is to implement the health and health policies of the Party and the State, implement the principle of combining theory with practice and popularization and improvement, and reflect the major progress in the theory and practical application of behavioral medicine and brain science in my country. It publishes academic papers and scientific research results in the field of behavioral medicine and brain science in my country, and has columns such as monographs/reviews, basic research, clinical research, health prevention, methods and techniques, psychological behavior and evaluation, and systematic evaluation.
