Abstract

Incidental diffuse-weighted imaging (DWI)-positive subcortical and cortical lesions, or acute incidental cerebral microinfarcts (CMIs), are a common type of brain ischemia, which can be detected on magnetic resonance DWI for approximately 2 weeks after occurrence. Acute incidental CMI was found to be more common in patients with cancer. Whether acute incidental CMI predicts future ischemic stroke is still unknown. We aimed to examine the association between acute incidental CMI in patients with cancer and subsequent ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
