Knowing the characteristics help physicians to diagnose patients clinically and offer management to treat risk factors. Objective: This study aimed to know the characteristics of lacunar ischemic stroke based on patients risk factors, ischemic location on CT-scan, clinical syndrome, and NIHSS score. Methods: Using retrospective analytical study with cross sectional approach, medical record data from 2019-2022 were collected from RSUP DR. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Results: From 60 patients, 35% (21) are 55-64 years old. Both sexes are equally distributed. 50 patients (83.3%) have multiple risk factors. Out of 60 patients, 57 (95%) have hypertension, 8 (13.3%) have diabetes mellitus, 44 (73.3%) have dyslipidemia, 6 (10%) have hyperuricemia, and 14 (23.3%) smoke. On admission, out of 60 patients, 34 (56.7%) have mild stroke, 23 (38.3%) have moderate stroke, 2 (3.3%) have moderate to severe stroke, and 1 (1.7%) has severe stroke. 44 (73.3%) out of 60 patients have pure motor hemiparesis. 41 (68.3%) out of 60 patients have basal ganglia ischemic. Conclusion: Lacunar ischemic stroke patients were equally distributed in sex with peak incidence occur between 55-64 years old. Most patients have multiple risk factors, basal ganglia lesion, pure motor hemiparesis, and history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and smoking.
