Introduction: Intracranial artery calcification (IAC) is a common radiological finding on Computed Tomography (CT) scan. Although IAC occurs with aging, it is uncertain whether IAC varies by stroke subtypes. Method: We included patients admitted to our hospital with acute stroke. We quantified calcification volume of both clinoid and siphon carotid arteries, vertebral arteries at the V4 segment, and the basilar artery using an in-house quantification tool for non-contrast brain CT. Stroke etiological subtypes were determined according to the Trial of Organon in Acute Stroke Trial (TOAST) classification system independent of the calcification quantification. Demographic and clinical information was extracted from the medical records. We determined the prevalence of IAC in 51% of patients. (31% anterior, 7% posterior, and 14 % in both circulations) Result: We included 694 patients with stroke history (mean age 68 ± 16, range 21-101, 55% women, 71% nonwhite or mixed). IAC was associated with male sex (OR 1.47 [95%-CI 1.41-2.08), older age (OR 1.05 [95%-CI, 1.04-1.06]), hypertension (OR 1.55 [95%-CI, 1.01-2.36], dyslipidemia (OR 1.54 [95%-CI, 1.06-2.25]), and smoking (OR 1.79 [95%-CI, 1.18-2.71]). Anterior IAC was associated with dyslipidemia (OR 1.57 [95%-CI, 1.08-2.28], smoking (1.9 [95%-CI, 1.25-2.88]), and older age (OR 1.05 [95%-CI, 1.36-1.66). Posterior IAC was associated with myocardial infarction (OR 1.58 [95%-CI, 1.01-2.47] and older age (OR 1.02 [95%-CI, 1.01-1.03]. In multivariate analyses, any IAC was associated with small artery disease stroke (OR 1.01[95%-CI, 1.41-3.98]). Stratifying by circulations, however, demonstrated that the association was only with posterior (OR 1.22[95%-CI, 1.02-2.28]) and not anterior IAC (OR 1.20[95%-CI, 0.86-1.1.69]). There was no association between IAC and intracranial large artery stenoses OR (1.22[95%-CI, 0.78-1.1.92]). Conclusion: IAC is a marker of arterial disease, and its prevalence relates to vascular risk factors and small artery disease strokes. Understanding the mechanism by which IAC may relate to small artery disease may help us understand small artery stroke physiopathology and discover novel therapies for its treatment.
