Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine

Context:

  • Acute stroke presents a significant health challenge, particularly in younger demographics.
  • Understanding the specific etiological factors and outcomes in this population is crucial for effective management.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the demographic, etiological, and clinical characteristics of acute stroke patients.
  • To analyze risk factors, treatment modalities, and patient outcomes in a cohort of acute stroke cases.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis of 75 acute stroke patients revealed a mean age of 37.45 years, with a male predominance (1.8:1 ratio).
  • Ischemic pathology accounted for 73% of cases, with tobacco and alcohol consumption, and migraine as prevalent risk factors. Arteriosclerosis and cardioembolism were common causes.
  • Etiological diagnosis remained elusive in one-third of patients. Treatment primarily involved antiplatelet agents, with aspirin (approx. 200 mg/day) being most frequent. The initial mortality rate was 4%, with over 60% of patients discharged asymptomatic or with minor deficits.
