The site of stenosis or occlusion did not correlate with ipsilateral perfusion delay in these 3 cases. Based on the precedent relationship between infarction and perfusion delay, we developed 2 hypotheses to explain why perfusion decreases on the contralateral side of the occlusion or stenosis. However, this study was limited because we could not identify events, like volume loss or decreased blood pressure, before stroke development.
