Increased Prevalence of Hyperhomocysteinemia in Cervical Artery Dissection Causing Stroke

Abstract

Our results suggest that mild hyperhomocysteinemia may be a risk factor for sCAD causing ischemic stroke, but further studies are needed to identify a possible mechanism. This study confirms the association of hyperhomocysteinemia with ischemic stroke due to atherothrombotic or small artery disease.
