Usefulness of hyperintense acute reperfusion marker sign in patients with transient neurologic symptom.

ABSTRACT: It aimed to investigate the incidence and final diagnosis of hyperintense acute reperfusion marker (HARM) signs in patients initially suspected of having a transient ischemic attack (TIA).In retrospective manner, a series of consecutive series of patients who arrived at the emergency department and was initially assessed as TIA within 12 hours of symptom onset between July 2015 and December 2016 were enrolled. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging protocol including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and pre- and post-contrast fluid attenuation inversion recovery imaging (FLAIR) was conducted to evaluate the ischemic lesion and prognosis. Through the review of medical records and imaging studies, their final diagnosis and its association with HARM signs on post-contrast FLAIR were investig
