Introduction: Stroke is classically characterized as a neurological decit attributed to an acute focal
injury of the central nervous system due to impairment of cerebral circulation, resulting in abnormal
perfusion of brain causing acute neurological decit. Diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia, along with hypertension and
smoking are the leading risk factors for the occurrence of stroke. It is most common in elderly patients, but stroke can occur at
any age, including childhood. There are many risk factors found to be associated with the stroke but role of lipid abnormality as
major risk factor is consistently observed. Aim & Objectives: To evaluate lipid prole status in young patients suffering from
stroke and its relationship with etiology of stroke. Material & Methods: This prospective clinical study was conducted in M Y
Hospital, Indore in the young (15-45 years) patients suffering from stroke attended the medicine department. The total50
patients were included in the study after informed consent. Complete lipid prole was evaluated using serum sample of
patients by standard enzymatic methods in the central lab of hospital. Results & Observations: Total cholesterol,
Triglycerides, HDL, LDL were found abnormal in 28,16%,82%,62% subjects presented with stroke. Out of theses patients
presented with abnormal lipid status the percentage of ischaemic stroke was 13%,7%,32%,27% respectively and haemorrhagic
stroke was observed in 01%, 01%,09%, 04% respectively. Conclusions: Our study concluded that relation of dyslipidaemia with
ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke patients isn't consistent and more related to ischaemic stroke as compared to
haemorrhagic stroke.
