Cerebral ischemia (stroke) in adults is a neurological condition resulting from the occlusion of cerebral blood vessels and represents one of the leading causes of long-term disability. Importantly, ischemic strokes can also occur during brain development. While the pathophysiology and consequences of adult stroke have been extensively studied, much less is known about the effects of perinatal stroke on the developing brain. This thesis investigates brain lesion volume in both the acute phase (2 days post-stroke) and the chronic phase (79 days post-stroke). Our histological analysis indicates that the average lesion volume is approximately 2 mm³ at day 2 and increases to around 3 mm³ by day 79.
L'ischemia cerebrale (ictus) negli adulti è una condizione neurologica causata dall'occlusione dei vasi sanguigni cerebrali e rappresenta una delle principali cause di disabilità a lungo termine. È importante sottolineare che gli ictus ischemici possono verificarsi anche durante lo sviluppo cerebrale. Mentre la fisiopatologia e le conseguenze dell’ictus negli adulti sono state ampiamente studiate, si sa molto meno sugli effetti dell’ictus perinatale sul cervello in via di sviluppo. Questa tesi indaga il volume della lesione cerebrale sia nella fase acuta (2 giorni dopo l’ictus) sia nella fase cronica (79 giorni dopo l’ictus). La nostra analisi istologica indica che il volume medio della lesione è di circa 2 mm³ al secondo giorno e aumenta a circa 3 mm³ entro il giorno 79.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia (stroke) in adults is a neurological condition resulting from the occlusion of cerebral blood vessels and represents one of the leading causes of long-term disability. Importantly, ischemic strokes can also occur during brain development. While the pathophysiology and consequences of adult stroke have been extensively studied, much less is known about the effects of perinatal stroke on the developing brain. This thesis investigates brain lesion volume in both the acute phase (2 days post-stroke) and the chronic phase (79 days post-stroke). Our histological analysis indicates that the average lesion volume is approximately 2 mm³ at day 2 and increases to around 3 mm³ by day 79.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
