Lenticulostriate infarct
Lenticulostriate infarcts are lacunar infarcts resulting from occlusion of single lenticulostriate perforating arteries.
Terminology
They should not be confused with striatocapsular infarcts that represent larger strokes resulting from occlusion of multiple lenticulostriate arteries.
