Except 5 cases, most of the patients had at least one of 3 systemic diseases (Hypertension, Diabetes, and hyperlipidemia). The mean plasma homocystein level in cases was 15, 39 μmol/l and in controls it was 15.95 which was not statistically significant. (p=0.42). The mean plasma homocystein level was above the normal in 21 cases (13.0 μmol/l) and in 28 control subjects. Conclusion
