Stroke is one of the most important diseases in the elderly, but studies on the elderly stroke(age z 70 years) are rare.
The authors evaluated clinical characteristics of ischemic stroke in the elderly and compared them with those in the young(age < 69).
The conclusions obtained are as follows.
1. The strokes with multiple risk factors and combined diseases were more common in the elderly than in the young.
2. Middle cerebral artery territory was most frequently involved in the two groups, but
vertebrobasilar territory was more frequently involved in the elderly than in the young.
3. The incidence of recurrent stroke and pathogenesis did not differ significantly between
the two groups.
4. Among the complications, urogenital diseases were more common in the elderly than in the young.
