This study attempts to propose guidelines for diagnostic procedures in young adults with focal cerebral ischemia. Our data indicate that the most common etiologies are atherothrombosis (primarily in 40-47-year-old subjects), and cardioembolism (more prevalent in subjects under 30 years old). Autoimmune conditions were observed in 12.6%, and arterial dissections in 11% of our patients. Despite extensive diagnostic studies, we were unable to determine the etiology of the cerebral ischemic event in 10% of our patients.
本研究试图为患有局灶性脑缺血的青年成年人提出诊断程序指南。我们的数据表明，最常见的病因是动脉粥样硬化血栓形成（主要见于40 - 47岁的受试者）和心源性栓塞（在30岁以下的受试者中更为普遍）。在我们的患者中，12.6%观察到自身免疫性疾病，11%观察到动脉夹层。尽管进行了广泛的诊断研究，但我们仍无法确定10%的患者脑缺血事件的病因。
