Key result

The abstract describes the rationale for studying the correlation between carotid stenosis and lacunar infarcts in acute ischemic stroke, but reports no results.

Key Points

To determine the incidence of lacunar infarcts in patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke and assess its correlation with carotid artery stenosis.
Assessed patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke to identify the occurrence of lacunar infarctions.
Evaluated the presence and degree of carotid artery stenosis to examine potential correlations with lacunar stroke events.
Lacunar infarcts were recognized as small deep cerebral lesions measuring 2 to 20 mm resulting from penetrating artery occlusion, historically representing about 25% of all ischemic strokes.
