Purpose: The purpose was to evaluate if patients with partial and full fetal-type posterior cerebral artery (PCA) could be more prone to lead to ischemic strokes on multislice computed tomographic angiography (MSCTA). Methods: A total of 202 patients who had undergone MSCTA examinations were divided into three groups: patients with full fetal-type posterior (FTP), patients with partial FTP, and patients without FTP. The odds ratio of having ischemic strokes was calculated. Results: The odds of having ischemic strokes in patients with full and partial FTP were 1.448 and 3.027, while P values were .391 and .0307, respectively. Conclusion: Patients with a partial fetal-type PCA could be more prone to develop ischemic strokes. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
