Geometrical determinants of cerebral artery fenestration for cerebral infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Few data are available on the causality of cerebral artery fenestration (CAF) triggering cerebral infarction (CI) and this study aims to identify representative morphological features that can indicate risks.

Methods

A cohort comprising 89 patients diagnosed with CAF were enrolled from a total of 9,986 cranial MR angiographies. These patients were categorized into Infarction Group (n = 55) and Control Group (n = 34) according to infarction events. These two groups are divided into two subgroups depending on fenestration location (basilar artery or other cerebravascular location), respectively, i.e., BA Infarction Group (n = 37), BA Control Group (n = 23), Non_BA Infarction Group (n = 18), Non_BA Control Group (n = 11).
