A member asked:
What is ischemic infract centrum semiovale right as shown in ct scan of my mother? she fell from the stairs.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small stroke: "ischemic infarct centrum semiovale" means a (usually small) stroke high up in the brain that is caused by decreased blood flow (ischemia) to the area. It is more likely that the stroke led to the fall rather than the stroke occurring as a result of the fall.
