Multiple Lesions Are More Frequent Than Previously Thought in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Using a large dataset of deep-profiled MR images, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital detected multiple lesions in 50% of patients with acute ischemic stroke, usually within one vascular territory. Overall, multiple lesions were linked to higher lesion volume and greater stroke severity.

MRI-defined Acute Ischemic Brain Lesions Can Predict Long-term Outcome After Endovascular Thrombectomy for LVO Stroke
Robert Regenhardt, MD, PhD, and Natalia S. Rost, MD, MPH, of the Department of Neurology, and colleagues found that among patients with large vessel occlusion stroke, ischemic lesions identified by MRI after endovascular thrombectomy were associated with both acute stroke severity and 90-day functional outcome.

Acute Ischemic Stroke Outcomes Linked to Sex-Specific Lesion Patterns
Anna K. Bonkhoff, MD, and Natalia S. Rost, MD, MPH, of the Kistler Stroke Research Center, and colleagues found considerable sex differences in the lesion patterns that underlie the severity of acute ischemic stroke. Further investigation may lead to sex-specific approaches to stroke management.
