Description
Nneoma Abajue and co-authors count narrowed neck arteries among stroke patients at a large hospital in eastern Nigeria. Their conference abstract from 2026 uses a standard grading method for the narrowing. Such narrowing is a known stroke cause that can be acted on if found.
Records covered 332 stroke patients seen from 2020 to 2024. Clear narrowing of at least half was found in 55 patients, about seventeen percent. Right and left side narrowing were close in share. Severe narrowing and full blocks were rare. Most patients were older and had high blood pressure or diabetes, the risk factors that shaped the group profile.
