Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Radiology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Stroke was defined by the world health organization (WHO) more than 40 years ago as “rapidly developing clinical signs of focal (or global) disturbance of cerebral function, lasting more than 24 hours or leading to death, with no apparent cause other than that of vascular origin. Aims and Objectives: To study Clinico-radiological profile of stroke in relation with different anatomical sites: cross sectional study at tertiary care centre. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study carried at medicine department in the patients of stroke during the one year period i.e. January 2017 to January 2018 in the one year period there were 49 patients admitted to ward for stroke were included into the study. All the information of the patients like age, sex, clinical features and undergone CT scan imaging for the identification of site and type of stroke . The data was entered to excel sheet and presented in tabular form and expressed in percentages. Result: The majority of the patients were in the age group of 51-60 were 38.78 %, followed by 41-50 were 30.61 %, >60 were 16.33%, 31-40 were 10.20%, 21-30 were 4.08%. The majority of the patients were Male i.e. 59.18% and female were 40.82%. The majority of the patients were having complains of Headache in 79.59%, followed by Hemiplegia in 77.55%, Speech involvement in 65.31%, Altered sensorium in 59.18%, Gait Instability in 30.61%, Convulsion in 36.73%. The majority of the patients on CT Scan imaging were having the Infartcive type of Stoke i.e. 31% as compared to 18% hemorrhagic in hemorrhagic the most common site were Basal ganglia- 27.78%, Thalamus in 16.67%, Frontal, Parietal, Ventricular-11.11% respectively. In infarctive the Parietal was 29.03%, Frontal was 16.1%, Basal ganglia was 12.90%, Paraventricular, Cerebellum, Occipital were 9.68% respectively. Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that the majority of the patients were in the age group of 51-60, the majority of the patients were having complains of Headache , followed by Hemiplegia The majority of the patients on CT Scan imaging were having the Infartcive type of Stoke, In hemorrhagic the most common site were Basal ganglia, Thalamus. In infarctive the Parietal and Frontal Key Word: Stroke, Hemiplegia, Hemorhagic stroke, Infarctive stroke
