    Posterior circulation infarct (POCI) is a type of cerebral infarction affecting the posterior circulation supplying one side of the brain.. Posterior circulation stroke syndrome (POCS) refers to the symptoms of a patient who clinically appears to have had a posterior circulation infarct, but who has not yet had any diagnostic imaging (e.g. CT Scan) to confirm the diagnosis.

    CT scans may not detect ischemic stroke, especially if it is small, of recent onset, [10] or in the brainstem or cerebellum areas (posterior circulation infarct). MRI is better at detecting a posterior circulation infarct with diffusion-weighted imaging. [79] A CT scan is used more to rule out certain stroke mimics and detect bleeding. [10]

  4. Vertebrobasilar insufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebrobasilar_insufficiency

    The posterior circulation supplies the medulla, pons, midbrain, cerebellum and (in 70-80% of people) supplies the posterior cerebellar artery to the thalamus and occipital cortex. [1] As a result, symptoms vary widely depending which brain region is predominantly affected. The term 'vertebrobasilar insufficiency' may be used to describe disease ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracranial_aneurysm

    The risk of rupture varies with the size and location of the aneurysm, with those in the posterior circulation being more prone to rupture. Cerebral aneurysms are classified by size into small, large, giant, and super-giant, and by shape into saccular (berry), fusiform, and microaneurysms.

  8. Cerebellar stroke syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_stroke_syndrome

    Cerebellar stroke syndrome is a condition in which the circulation to the cerebellum is impaired due to a lesion of the superior cerebellar artery, anterior inferior cerebellar artery or the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. [1] Cardinal signs include vertigo, headache, vomiting, and ataxia. [2]

  9. Cerebral infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_infarction

    Cerebral infarction, also known as an ischemic stroke, is the pathologic process that results in an area of necrotic tissue in the brain (cerebral infarct). [1] In mid to high income countries, a stroke is the main reason for disability among people and the 2nd cause of death. [2]
