Comparison of clinical characteristics of anterior cerebral artery infarction in different genders
Objective To explore the differences in clinical characteristics of anterior cerebral artery(ACA)supply area infarction between different genders.Methods General clinical data,clinical symptoms,and neurological dysfunction of 37 patients were collected,and imaging evaluation was performed using 3.OT magnetic resonance diffusion imaging and 3D-TOF-MRA methods to clarify the infarct location and responsible blood vessels.Results Among the 37 patients with ACA blood supply area infarction,males accounted for 43%and females accounted for 57%.Compared with the general information of patients of different genders,the proportion of smoking and drinking history in the male group was higher than that in the female group(P<0.05).The blood uric acid level of male patients was higher than that of females(t=2.22,P=0.033).The proportion of male patients with limb dysfunction was higher than that of female patients(100%vs 62%,X2=7.78,P=0.005),among which the degree of upper limb muscle strength damage in female patients was milder than that in male patients(Z=2.21,P=0.034).The proportion of cingulate cortex infarcts in male patients was higher than that in female patients(63%vs 24%,x2=5.64,P=0.018),and the proportion of corpus callosum knee infarcts in female patients was higher than that in male patients(48%vs 13%,X2=5.11,P=0.024).There was no gender difference in other infarcts.Conclusion There are more female patients with anterior cerebral artery infarction than male patients,and there are differences in infarct sites and limb dysfunction between different genders.
