This event is the consequence of a micro- embolus lodging in the ophthalmic artery or one of its retinal branches. A cholesterol crystal (Hollenhorst plaque) occasionally is observed on funduscopic examination as a bright refractive body in a branch of the retinal artery. The significance of the above-mentioned focal neurologic events is that they are markers of stroke potential. Thirty-four percent of strokes are the result of large-artery disease as compared with embolism, which leads to 31% of strokes, lacunar infarctions (usually associated with hypertension and small-vessel disease), which leads to 19% of strokes, and hemorrhage, which leads to 16% of strokes. Stroke 307 Anatomy A thorough understanding of the arterial anatomy of the brain is crit- ically important in understanding the pathology and treatment of stroke. The anatomy is divided into anterior and posterior, and these are connected via the circle of Willis. Paired internal carotid arteries that provide approximately 80% to 90% of the total cerebral blood flow feed the anterior circulation. The left common carotid artery originates directly from the aortic arch, whereas the right common carotid artery originates from the innomi- nate artery. The common carotid arteries bifurcate at the angle of the mandible into the external and internal carotid arteries. The external carotid artery has many divisions and primarily provides circulation to the face and neck. The internal carotid artery can be divided into the cervical (or extracranial), intrapetrosal, intracavernous, and supraclinoid seg- ments. The cervical, intrapetrosal, and intracavernous portions of the internal carotid artery have no branches. The posterior circulation is composed of paired vertebral arteries that supply 10% to 20% of the total cerebral circulation. Both vertebral arter- ies originate from the first portion of their respective subclavian arter- ies and then enter the vertebral canal at the transverse foramina of the sixth cervical vertebra. The vertebral arteries unite to form the basilar artery, which then branches into the right and left posterior cerebral arteries. The posterior circulation supplies the brainstem, cranial nerves, cerebellum, and the occipital and temporal lobes of the cerebrum. The anterior communicating artery connects the two anterior cerebral arteries, while the posterior communicating artery connects the internal carotid arteries to the posterior cerebral arteries. Configuration of the terminal branches of the vertebral and inter- nal carotid arteries and their interconnections to form the circle of Willis. Ciocca The circle is intact in 20% to 40% of individuals and allows for col- lateral flow between the hemispheres and the anterior and posterior circulation. The fact that the circle so infrequently is intact implies two things: first, there are other means of collateral circulation; second, the existence of collateral circulation cannot be assumed before surgical intervention. Presentation One of the most frequently misunderstood anatomic and patho- physiologic points is that carotid artery stenosis leads to atheroem- bolic events. The internal carotid artery is the main conduit to the brain, feeding the middle cere- bral artery. It is rare for people to have hypoperfusion secondary to carotid occlusive disease. This is not hard to believe, since probably greater than 90% to 95% of the time carotid surgery is performed safely with a shunt. Risk Factors and Pathology The primary risk factors for stroke are similar to those for patients pre- senting with any other form of cardiovascular disease: smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, advanced age, obesity, inactivity, and, to a lesser extent, family history. The primary pathology leading to the development of extracranial carotid disease is atherosclerosis. This accounts for approximately 90% of lesions in the extracranial system seen in the Western world. The remaining 10% include such entities as fibromuscular dysplasia, arterial kinking because of arterial elongation, extrinsic compres- sion, traumatic occlusion, intimal dissection, the inflammatory angiopathy, and migraines. Radiation-induced atherosclerotic change of the extracranial carotid artery has become a recognized entity. Other rare entities, usually involving intracranial vessels, include fibrinoid necrosis, amyloidosis, polyarteritis, allergic angitis, Wegener’s granu- lomatosis, granulomatious angiitis, giant cell arteritis, and moyamoya disease. Embolization from a cardiac source also is an important con- tributing factor to cerebral vascular disease. The most likely etiology of the symptoms experienced by the patient in the case presented at the beginning of this chapter is the presence of atherosclerotic plaque at the ipsolateral carotid bifurcation. Epidemiology Incidence/Prevalence As previously stated, approximately 500,000 patients in the United States develop new strokes each year. Stroke 309 death, but perhaps more disconcerting are the morbidity and poten- tial loss of independence that result from stroke. This has been borne out by several population-based studies designed to look at the incidence of stroke. The Rochester, Minnesota, population study (from 1955 to 1969) emphasized the influence of advancing age on the progressive inci- dence of cerebral infarction: the 55-year-old to 64-year-old age group had a cerebral infarction rate of 276. The prognosis after a stroke is varied, but 6 months following the survival of a stroke only 29% of the patients in the Rochester study had normal cerebral function; 71% continued to have manifestations of neurologic dysfunction. In the latter group, 4% required total nursing care, 18% were disabled but capable of contributing to self- care, and 10% were aphasic. Of the patients who suffered a fatal stroke, 38% died of the initial stoke, 10% died of a subsequent stroke, and 18% died from complications of coronary disease. The chance of recurrent stroke within 1 year of the initial stroke was 10%, and the chance of a recurrent stroke within 5 years of the initial attack was 20%. The above data are somewhat dated, and yet, somewhat surprisingly, the incidence of stroke actually may have increased.
