Informative and detailed history was obtained concerning the presence of risk factor(s) and essential demographic data. General and neurological examinations, biochemical and laboratory investigations, in addition to brain CT-scanning were performed.
In a total of 200 patients, 97 (48.5%) were males, and 103 patients (51.5%) were females. One hundred and sixty-six patients (83%) were more than 50 years old with a mean age of 63.66 years. Ischemic stroke was found in 171 patients (85.5%), and hemorrhagic stroke was found in 29 patients (14.5%). Hypertension was found in 138 patients (69%).
