Abstract

Objective To discuss prevalence, risk factors, changes of imaging, and the clinical manifestation of asymptomatic cerebral infarction (ACI) in 136 patients. Methods This study included 136 patients who had received CT or MRI examination; their imagings were obtained. Blood pressure, serum glucose and lipids, and EKG were studied. Prevalence, risk factors, changes of imaging and clinical manifestation of ACI were analyzed. Results ACI was found in 34.0% of all the patients. Most of ACI was lacunar infarction and located in basal ganglia (47.3%), corona radiata (27.3%), internal capsule (12.5%). Conclusions The main locations of ACI are basal ganglia, corona radiata, internal capsule. The risk factors of ACI are hypertension, diabetes, cardiac disease, hyperlipidemia and age.
