Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between the clinical onset of cerebral infarction in anterior cycle and properties of carotid atheromatous plaque.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out on clinical data of 624 cases of cerebral infarction in anterior cycle from December 2010 to December 2013 in our hospital.The carotid artery plaque Crouse score,index,and intima-media thickness (IMT) were used to evaluate carotid atherosclerosis and plaque lesions.The National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) questionnaire was used to evaluate neural function defect.Results Compared to the non-lesion side,the lesion side carotid artery plaque Crouse score was decreased and IMT was increased (P ＜ 0.05) ; the lesion carotid artery plaque Crouse was lower,the higher NIHSS scores (r =-0.546,P =0.004) ; IMT score was higher,higher NIHSS score; carotid artery atheromatous plaque Crouse was negatively related to NIHSS score; IMT score was positively related to NIHSS score (r =0.672,P =0.003).Conclusions The clinical onset of cerebral infarction in anterior cycle was correlated with the carotid sclerosis degree.The Crouse score and IMT of the lesion have certain significance in predicting prognosis of cerebral infarction in anterior cycle.
