Abstract

Background: The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of intracranial artery stenosis in patients with acute ISCHEMIC STROKE in Iran.Methods: A total of 169 patients with acute ISCHEMIC STROKE were eligible to participate and were enrolled in this study from January 2012 to February 2013. All the patients were admitted to the Nemazee Hospital, affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Iran. They underwent transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography. Mean flow velocity (MFV) of basilar artery, vertebral artery, middle cerebral artery (MCA), anterior cerebral artery (ACA), and posterior cerebral artery (PCA) were evaluated.Results: A mean of patients’ age was 67.80±8.14 years. There were 83 men (49.1%) and 86 women (50.9%). Overall, 43 patients (25.4%), with a mean age of 66.7±6.2 years, had intracranial stenosis. The number of men and women with intracranial stenosis was comparable (52.4% men vs. 47.6% women). Hypertension (P<0.001), hyperlipidemia (P<0.001), and diabetes mellitus (DM) (P<0.001) were major risk factors for intracranial stenosis.Conclusion: The prevalence of intracranial artery stenosis in patients with acute ISCHEMIC STROKE is 25.4% which is comparable with previous reports from Iran and other Middle East countries.
