Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the ralationship between depression and brain injury images on computed tomography in patients with cerebral infarction. Subject and method: A prospective, cross-sectional study, 141 ischemic stroke patients at Stroke Department, 103 Military Hospital. Result: The rate of depression in patients had ischemic stroke frontal lope 66.7% compared with no frontal lobe injury (30.2%), different statistically significant with p<0.05. The mean diameter of cerebral infarction with depression was 28.94 ± 27.64mm higher than that of the non-depressive group (17.27 ± 16.25mm), statistically significant difference with p<0.05. Conclusion: Frontal lobe cerebral infarction, infarct meridians are related to depression after stroke.
