Observational study reports cerebral microbleed frequency and vascular risk factors in acute ischemic stroke, highlighting hemorrhage-prone cerebral small vessel disease.
Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are markers of underlying hemorrhage-prone cerebral small vessel disease detected on MRI. They are associated with a heightened risk of stroke and cognitive decline. The prevalence of CMBs among Egyptian patients with ischemic stroke is not well studied. Our aim was to detect the prevalence of CMBs and associated risk factors among Egyptian patients with ischemic stroke.
