Intracranial stenosis in Chinese patients with acute stroke

K. S. Wong, MRCP, Y. N. Huang, MD, S. Gao, MD, W.W.M. Lam, FRCR, Y. L. Chan, FRCR and R. Kay, FRCP

From the Departments of Medicine (Drs. Wong and Kay) and Diagnostic Radiology and Organ Imaging (Drs. Lam and Chan), the Chinese University of Hong Kong; and Department of Neurology (Drs. Huang and Gao), Peking Union Medical College Hospital, China.

Address correspondence and reprint requests to Dr Wong, Department of Medicine, Prince of Wales Hospital, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong.

We studied 100 consecutive acute stroke patients in a Chinese population with transcranial Doppler and CT. Twenty patients had intracerebral hemorrhage and 14 patients did not have adequate temporal windows for transcranial Doppler examination. Among the remaining 66 patients, 22 patients (33%) had intracranial occlusive diseases and 3 (6%) had extracranial carotid stenosis. Our data showed that intracranial occlusive disease is the most commonly found vascular lesion in our acute stroke patients.

Supported in part by the Hong Kong Research Grant Committee No. CUHK 228/96M. Dr. S. Gao was supported by the Croucher Chinese Scholarship 1995-1996.

Presented in part at the 48th annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, San Francisco, CA, March 1996.
