Introduction: While anterior and posterior circulation strokes share most pathophysiological mechanisms, there is concern that significant differences may exist in some etiopathogenic factors. This study aims to compare the etiologies and risk factors of patients with anterior and posterior circulation strokes to ascertain if the operating mechanisms are any different and warrant different interventions.
Methods: A retrospective study compared the etiologies, risk factors, and stroke severity of 350 patients diagnosed with either anterior circulation infarcts (ACI) or posterior circulation infarcts (PCI) confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging.
