Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is one of the major causes of sudden death. In addition it has a high morbidity being responsible for many patients with incapacitating neurological deficit. Until recently there was scanty information on CVA in Africans, and some held that cerebrovascular disease (CVD) like coronary artery disease is rare in the African. Humphries (1957) for instance states that in 14 years work among natives of South, Central and West Africa, he saw few instances of CVD either due to hemorrhage or infarcation. It has since been shown that CVD is not uncommon in the Bantus in South and East Africa (LAURE and WOODS, 1958, STRONG et al., 1959, WALKER, 1963), and in the Senegalese in West Africa (COLLOMB et al., 1966). It is important to establish the pattern of CVD in the various African races and the difference, if any, from that described in the more developed countries. This paper describes our experience and findings in Nigerian patients seen at the University College Hospital, (UCH) Ibadan, between 1957 and 1968. The UCH is a 500-bed hospital of the University of Ibadan. It is situated in Ibadan, which has a population of 750,000 – the largest Negro city in the world, The majority of the inhabitants of Ibadan is formed by the Yorubas, who also constitute about 90 per cent of the patients seen in the hospital. The rest of the patients come from all parts of Nigeria. Material and methods In this paper, cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) refer to cerebral thrombosis, intracerebral hemorrhage and embolism as defined by the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness (1958).
脑血管意外(CVA)是猝死的主要原因之一。此外,它还具有很高的发病率,导致许多患者出现失能性神经功能缺损。直到最近,关于非洲人CVA的信息很少,一些人认为脑血管疾病(CVD)如冠状动脉疾病在非洲很少见。例如,Humphries(1957)指出,在对南非、中非和西非土著人进行了14年的研究后,他发现由于出血或梗塞导致的心血管疾病病例很少。此后的研究表明,心血管疾病在南非和东非班图人(LAURE and WOODS, 1958, STRONG et al., 1959, WALKER, 1963)和西非塞内加尔人(COLLOMB et al., 1966)中并不罕见。重要的是要确定不同非洲种族的心血管疾病模式,以及与较发达国家所描述的差异(如果有的话)。本文描述了我们在1957年至1968年间在伊巴丹大学学院医院(UCH)治疗的尼日利亚患者的经验和发现。联合医院是伊巴丹大学拥有500个床位的医院。它位于伊巴丹,人口75万,是世界上最大的黑人城市,伊巴丹的大多数居民是约鲁巴人,约鲁巴人也占医院病人的90%。其余的病人来自尼日利亚各地。在本文中,脑血管意外(CVA)是指国家神经疾病和失明研究所(1958)定义的脑血栓形成、脑出血和栓塞。
