Introduction:
The prevalence of Fabry Disease (FD) with cerebrovascular complications varies in different populations. The aim of this study was to estimate the presence of FD among young stroke patients in northern Israel.
Patients And Methods:
We performed a retro-/prospective search for FD in young patients (aged ≤50 years old) admitted to the Department of Neurology due to acute ischemic stroke of any etiology.
Results:
Overall, 114 patients were examined for FD. Mean age of patients was 40±7.44 years. There were 75 (65.78%) males. FD was found in 4 (3.5%) patients. None of the FD patients had a cryptogenic stroke.
Conclusion:
The results of our study call for a search of FD in young stroke patients of any etiology, and not only among cryptogenic ones.
