Background: Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is one of the most common causes of stroke worldwide. This study aimed to analyze the demographic and risk factor profiles of ICAS in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The study population included 477 patients who were hospitalized in the Neurology Department from March 1, 2018, to September 1, 2020 because of acute ischemic stroke and underwent arterial brain imaging (CTA or MRA) examination during their hospitalization. Results: Of 477 patients, 123 (25.7%) had ICAS. A history of stroke/transient ischemic attack was significantly higher in patients with intracranial stenosis (P = 0.012). Patients with ICAS had significant concurrent extracranial arterial stenosis (ECAS) (P = 0.00). In Bahraini patients, dyslipidemia was associated with a higher percentage of developing ICAS, but this was statistically nonsignificant (p = 0.06). Conclusions: An independent and significant correlation was found between ICAS and stroke recurrence. In addition, a concurrent existence of ECAS and ICAS was noted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
