Lacunar infarcts are small infarcts in the deeper parts of the brain (basal ganglia, thalamus, white matter) and in the brain stem.
Lacunar infarcts are caused by occlusion of a single deep penetrating artery.
Lacunar infarcts account for 25% of all ischemic strokes.
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of lacunar infarcts followed by emboli.
25% of patients with clinical and radiologically defined lacunes had a potential cardiac cause for their strokes.
