Key Points

  • The research aims to characterize perfusion scotoma in patients undergoing endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke.
  • Analyzed data from patients treated for acute ischemic stroke
  • Assessed the occurrence of perfusion scotoma after treatment
  • Identified baseline predictors of scotoma and functional outcomes
  • Perfusion scotoma occurred in 25% of patients
  • Baseline predictors included male sex and lower ASPECTS scores
  • Scotoma was associated with poorer functional outcomes in patients

Abstract

Perfusion scotoma occurred in 1 out of every 4 patients. Baseline predictors included male sex, lower ASPECTS, more distal vessel occlusion, and longer onset-to-CT time. Perfusion scotoma was associated with poorer functional outcomes.
