Dense artery sign : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dense artery sign In medicine, the dense artery sign or hyperdense artery sign is a radiologic sign seen on computer tomography (CT) scans suggestive of early ischemic stroke. In earlier studies of medical imaging in patients with strokes, it was the earliest sign of ischemic stroke in a significant minority of cases. Its appearance portends a poor prognosis for the patient. The sign has been observed in the middle cerebral artery (MCA),〔 posterior cerebral artery (PCA), vertebral artery,〔 and basilar artery; these have been called the dense MCA sign, dense PCA sign, dense vertebral artery sign, and dense basilar artery sign, respectively. Rarely, a hypodense artery sign can occur due to fat embolism.〔Lee TC, Bartlett ES, Fox AJ, Symons SP. The hypodense artery sign. American Journal of Neuroradiology. 2005 September; 26(8):2027-2029.〕 ==Cause== Through cerebral angiography, the sign has been demonstrated to correspond to embolic or atherosclerotic occlusion of an artery.〔 Specifically, the hyperdensity is thought to be due to calcification or hemorrhage associated with an atherosclerotic plaque.〔
