Abstract:
Objective To investigate the major risk factors of posterior circulation infarction.Methods Clinical data from 216 patients with posterior circulation infarction were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into follow groups (proxima1,middle, dista1 and combination group,or single , multiple, or unilateral, bilateral, or lacune infarct, non lacune infarct ) according to the infarcts locations on MRI.The risk factors in each group were analysed. Also,the major risk factors were compared with that from patients with anterior circulation infarction. Results In 216 patients with posterior circulation infarction, hypertension was the most common risk factor (76.9%), followed by diabetes mellitus (36.6% ),hyperlipedemia (30.1%), previous stroke history(26%), and heart disease(22.2%). The most common location of infarcts was distal territory (49%),followed by middle(24.5%) ,proxima1(6%). The average age of proximal group [(57.92?12.81) years] was significant lower than that of other groups(P
