Abstract
Cerebral microembolism of atherothrombotic elements is common and may be an important cause of cerebral infarction [6]. Emboli that are physically stable occlude small arteries or arterioles and, depending on their number, ischaemia may ensue. The relative importance of cytotoxic as opposed to vasogenic oedema in the subsequent series of pathological events is equally determined by the number and the distribution of occlusive lesions [3]. Both may be important to clinical outcome, and active measures against them would be therapeutically beneficial.
