Background And Purpose

OBJECTIVES: We carried out this cross-sectional study to explore the association between cerebral large artery lesions and leukoaraiosis in Chinese patients with stroke. The relationship between leukoaraiosis and risk factors of cerebral vascular disease was also investigated. METHODS: Data were prospectively collected from patients with ischemic stroke within 7 days of symptom onset. All patients underwent three-dimensional time of flight magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and contrast-enhanced MRA for evaluating intracranial and extracranial stenosis. Leukoaraiosis grading was performed according to age-related white matter changes rating scale.
