Acute Amnestic Syndrome and Ischemic Stroke: A Case Series.

Purpose Of Review: Stroke is an uncommon cause of amnesia. We describe in detail 3 cases of anterograde amnesia and confabulation secondary to acute ischemic stroke and review the available literature.

Recent Findings: In our case series, all 3 patients presented with anterograde amnesia and 2 of 3 copresented with prominent confabulation.

Assessing neuronal density in peri-infarct cortex with PET: Effects of cortical topology and partial volume correction.

The peri-infarct cortex (PIC) is the site of long-term physiologic changes after ischemic stroke. Traditional methods for delineating the peri-infarct gray matter (GM) have used a volumetric Euclidean distance metric to define its extent around the infarct. This metric has limitations in the case of cortical stroke, i.
