The mean number of deep spotty calcifications and the mean number of spotty calcifications both showed a positive trend toward significance with ipsilateral stroke (0.3±0.8 versus 0.1±0.5, P =0.071 and 0.6±1.0 versus 0.4±0.7, P =0.11, respectively).

In our study, though we found that isolated superficial or deep spotty calcifications showed a trend toward association with ipsilateral infarction, we were unable to more conclusively determine whether an association exists with these specific calcium patterns and ipsilateral stroke.
