Ischemic oculo-pyramidal crossed syndrome, i.e. amaurosis fugax contralateral to hemiparesis, is caused by an embolus from internal carotid artery occluding the retinal or the ophthalmic artery as well as the middle cerebral artery. We report on a patient with an oculopyramidal crossed syndrome due
Neurological symptoms of transient unsteadiness, dysarthria, dysphasia, dysbasia, transient monoor hemiparesis, hemiparesis, scintillating scotomas, amaurosis fugax, vertigo, dizziness, migraine accompaniments, syncope and seizures were the presenting manifestations of thrombocythemia in various
Cerebral reperfusion following carotid endarterectomy occasionally causes cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome. This is a rare but important complication and this case report acted as a stimulus for a literature review of this problem. A 60-year-old businessman had a right carotid endarterectomy for a
Transient neurological and visual signs have been observed in some patients after valved conduit replacement of the aortic valve and ascending aorta. Twenty-seven patients having valved conduit replacement between February 1982 and October 1988 were compared with 21 patients having combined aortic
BACKGROUND
Moyamoya disease is a chronic progressive cerebrovascular disorder, characterized by stenosis or occlusion of bilateral internal carotid arteries (ICAs), anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs) and middle cerebral arteries (MCAs), accompanied by a collateral network of vessels formed at the
OBJECTIVE
Occlusion of the common carotid artery (CCA) is generally associated with occlusion of the ipsilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery (ECA). Occasionally, however, collateral circulation to the ECA may preserve patency of the ICA via retrograde perfusion through
BACKGROUND
Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is an important complication of carotid endarterectomy (CEA), yet prior research has been limited to small cohorts and retrospective analyses, or studies using radiographic rather than clinical definitions.
METHODS
A prospective monitoring system was
OBJECTIVE
Carotid angioplasty and stenting seems to have equal or better outcomes in high-risk patients than carotid endarterectomy.
METHODS
Single-center case-control study.
METHODS
University hospital tertiary referral center.
METHODS
Individuals (n = 53) undergoing elective carotid angioplasty
OBJECTIVE
This study attempted to correlate neurologic changes in awake patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) under cervical block anesthesia (CBA) with electroencephalography (EEG) and measurement of carotid artery stump pressure (SP).
METHODS
Continuous EEG and SP monitoring was
