Objective To explore the relationship between plasma homocysteine level and intracranial artery atherosclerosis in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 120 patients with cerebral infarction diagnosed between January and December 2013 were selected.Plasma homocysteine level was analyzed and intracranial artery was detected by DSA. Results Intracranial artery atherosclerosis can be found in most of patients with cerebral infarction.Moreover,Plasma Hcy level of patients with large cerebral artery atherosclerosis was much higher than others (P<0.05).The much higher Plasma Hcy level,the severe intracranial artery atherosclerosis were found in internal carotid artery and cerebral middle artery (P<0.05). Conclusion Intracranial artery atherosclerosis is common in patients with cerebral infarction.Occurrence of intracranial artery atherosclerosis is positively correlated with plasma homocysteine level.Plasma homocysteine level may be a risk factor of intracranial artery atherosclerosis in patients with cerebral infarction.
