Abstract:
In recent years, the incidence of stroke in young adults, especially ischemic stroke, has been increasing worldwide. Due to its high disability, high mortality, and high recurrence, it has brought a serious burden to society and families. The common causes of ischemic stroke in young adults include large artery atherosclerosis and small vessel occlusion, while the rare causes such as patent foramen ovale, hereditary cerebral small vessel disease, cerebral artery dissection, moyamoya disease, vasculitis, and cryptogenic stroke also account for a high proportion. Its pathogenesis is complex, and diagnosis and treatment are difficult. This article reviews the latest research progress of the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke in young adults.
