Abstract

To evaluate the role of serum lipids in the patients with cerebral thrombosis, lipid parameters were compared with a sex- and age - matched healthy control. The cerebral thrombosis group included 61 males (mean age, 61.0) and 32 females (mean age, 66.3). Total cholesterol and total/HDL-cholesterol ratio in the male and female patients were significantly higher than in the control(p<0.001). But triglyceride showed difference only in the male patient group (p<0.05). All parameters did not show any difference between the lacunar and cortical infarctions. The finding in this study support the idea that high serum total cholesterol, low serum HDL-cholesterol and high total / HDL-cholesterol ratio are risk factors for cerebral thrombosis.
