PURPOSE: The purpose was to evaluate if patients with partial and full fetal-type posterior cerebral artery (PCA) could be more prone to lead to ischemic strokes on multislice computed tomographic angiography (MSCTA). METHODS: A total of 202 patients who had undergone MSCTA examinations were divided into three groups: patients with full fetal-type posterior (FTP), patients with partial FTP, and patients without FTP. The odds ratio of having ischemic strokes was calculated. RESULTS: The odds of having ischemic strokes in patients with full and partial FTP were 1.448 and 3.027, while P values were .391 and .0307, respectively. CONCLUSION: Patients with a partial fetal-type PCA could be more prone to develop ischemic strokes.
