Word count: 97 This Brief Research Report aligns closely with the scope of Frontiers in Neurology by addressing clinically relevant neuroanatomical predictors of dysphagia-related outcomes following large vessel occlusion stroke. Our voxel-based lesion symptom mapping analysis investigates the relationship between stroke lesion topography and the need for PEG tube placement-a key outcome in stroke recovery and prognostication. The study contributes to the understanding of imaging biomarkers, post-stroke disability, and neurorehabilitation, which are central themes of the journal's Stroke specialty section. The findings also have implications for individualized care planning and inform future research on outcome prediction after acute ischemic stroke.
Keywords: Stroke, Large vessel occlusion (LVO), Gastrostomy (PEG), topography, Voxel based lesion symptom mapping
