ABSTRACT

SUMMARY n The aim of the study was to evaluate the profile of ischemic stroke in young adults. Sixty-two cases of ischemic stroke in Croatian subjects aged 26 to 49 years were reviewed. Fifty of these had large infarctions and 12 had lacunar infarctions.The causes of large cerebral infarction were as follows: atherosclerosis 37% of women and 35% of men; cardiac embolism 5% of women and 26% of men; and uncertain causes 31% of women and 23% of men. Among men, the most prominent risk factors were smoking and drinking, whereas among women the leading risk factors were hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. Color Doppler Flow Imaging (CDFI) was pathologic in 48% of female and 33% of male patients.
