Occlusive Cerebrovascular Disease in Young Adults

  • Gary M. Klein (a1) and T. Peter Seland (a1)
Abstract:

This retrospective study documents the experience of two large Canadian teaching hospitals with occlusive cerebrovascular disease in young adults. Chart review disclosed 76 patients aged 15-40 years during a recent six year period. An apparent cause, or significant coincident risk factors were found in 51 patients (67%). The most prevalent recognized causes were atherosclerosis, emboli from cardiac sources or intracranial aneurysms, and complicated migraine. Pregnancies or use of oral contraceptives were apparent coincident risk factors.
