1/131. A surgical case of atypical aortic coarctation using cardiopulmonary bypass.We report a 44-year-old woman with atypical aortic coarctation accompanied by cerebral artery disease. She was hospitalized for vertigo. An extra-anatomic bypass between the ascending aorta and abdominal aorta was performed using partial cardiopulmonary bypass under moderate hypothermia to reduce the after load of the left ventricle and maintain cerebral blood flow and cerebral perfusion pressure. The postoperative course was uneventful and there was no postoperative neurological deficiency.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = artery, artery disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/131. Multiple major cerebral artery thromboses with profound thrombocytopenia in acute leukaemia.A child with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia complicated by prolonged gastrointestinal and skin haemorrhages due to profound thrombocytopenia finally died of thrombotic occlusions of major cerebral arteries due to mucormycosis. biopsy of any suspect lesion is needed urgently before prolonged therapy with amphotericin b is started. So far there have been no cures in childhood.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.5307659912881keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/131. Ruptured intracranial mycotic aneurysm presenting as cerebral haemorrhage in an infant: case report and review of the literature.A 2-month-old male infant presented with intracranial haemorrhage caused by ruptured intracranial mycotic aneurysm. Computed tomography and cerebral selective angiography revealed a large haematoma in the left sylvian fissure and a mycotic aneurysm of a peripheral branch of the middle cerebral artery. Despite the successful surgical removal, the child did not recover from the initial brain injury and died 2 months later. There have been fewer than 10 reported cases of infantile mycotic aneurysms and its occurrence in the absence of infectious endocarditis is exceptionally rare.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.88269149782204keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/131. Calcification of intracranial vessels in neurocysticercosis.We report calcification of intracranial vessels in neurocysticercosis. Calcification was observed in the middle cerebral arteries in two patients, and the circle of willis in two others. The patients with middle cerebral artery calcification underwent CT with inhaled stable xenon and an area of mild hypoperfusion was observed in the ipsilateral cerebral hemisphere.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.88269149782204keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/131. MRI in human immunodeficiency virus-associated cerebral vasculitis.Cerebral ischaemia caused by inflammatory vasculopathies has been described as complication of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection. Imaging studies have shown ischaemic lesions and changes of the vascular lumen, but did not allow demonstration of abnormalities within the vessel wall itself. Two hiv-infected men presented with symptoms of a transient ischaemic attack. Initial MRI of the first showed no infarct; in the second two small lacunar lesions were detected. In both cases, multiplanar 3-mm slice contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images showed aneurysmal dilatation, with thickening and contrast enhancement of the wall of the internal carotid and middle cerebral (MCA) arteries. These findings were interpreted as indicating cerebral vasculitis. In the first patient the vasculopathy progressed to carotid artery occlusion, and he developed an infarct in the MCA territory, but then remained neurologically stable. In the second patient varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection was the probable cause of vasculitis. The clinical deficits and vasculitic MRI changes regressed with antiviral and immunosuppressive therapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.6701595505914keywords = artery, carotid, carotid artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/131. Characteristics of aneurysms arising from the horizontal portion of the anterior cerebral artery.BACKGROUND: Aneurysms arising from the proximal portion of the anterior cerebral artery (A1: horizontal portion) are quite rare and are considered to be unique, because they are usually connected with other vascular anomalies and are sometimes part of a multiple aneurysm occurrence. A1 aneurysm cases experienced over the past seven and a half years are summarized in this paper. methods: A total of 413 patients were surgically treated including 142 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH); the remaining 271 patients had unruptured aneurysms. Among them, nine cases were categorized as constituent A1 aneurysms, three with SAH and six with unruptured aneurysms. RESULTS: The shape of the aneurysm was saccular in all nine cases. Three of the nine cases had associated vascular malformations. The average aneurysm diameter in the three cases with SAH was 4.0 mm, which is smaller than other common aneurysms presenting with SAH. Eight aneurysms developed at the takeoff point of perforating arteries-the medial lenticulostriate artery in five cases and the recurrent artery of Heubner in three cases. In the remaining case, the aneurysm originated from the proximal end of the associated A1 fenestration. All nine patients had an excellent outcome after surgery. CONCLUSION: A1 aneurysms require surgical elimination even if they are small. We emphasize the importance of preserving the blood flow of these perforating arteries by avoiding compression with either the clip blade or the clip body itself.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6.1788404847542keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/131. Occlusion of the cerebral arteries in Recklinghausen's disease.Two children, aged 18 months and 6 years, who had Recklinghausen's disease, had occlusion of cerebral arteries. One child had no motor deficit but the other had right hemiparesis and partial occlusion of the left posterior cerebral artery, a fact not found in the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.88269149782204keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/131. Isolated corpus callosal infarction secondary to pericallosal artery disease presenting as alien hand syndrome.Two patients are described with the callosal type of alien hand syndrome. Both presented with abnormal feelings in the left upper limb and intermanual conflict without clinical evidence of callosal apraxia or frontal lobe dysfunction such as motor deficit or reflexive grasping. Imaging studies disclosed subacute infarction in the body and splenium of the corpus callosum due to pericallosal artery disease. These patients were unique in their presentation as a callosal type of alien hand syndrome secondary to ischaemic stroke.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = artery, artery disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/131. headache associated with postpartum cerebral angiopathy: monitoring with transcranial color-coded sonography.We report a case of postpartum cerebral angiopathy with headache; a rare entity that affects women within the early postpartum period. cerebral angiography revealed multiple segmental narrowings of major cerebral arteries. The patient was monitored with transcranial color-coded sonography of the middle cerebral artery. Abnormally increased flow velocity within the middle cerebral artery decreased following initiation of steroid therapy, and the patient's headache improved dramatically.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.7653829956441keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/131. A rare sign of intracranial internal carotid artery dissection causing cerebral infarction: a case report and review of the literature.We describe a patient with CT-proven ischemic infarction of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory. The emergency CT, on admission, was suggestive of intracranial internal carotid artery dissection by demonstrating gaseous gap defects in the arterial wall and a subsequent thromboembolic process in the MCA. To our knowledge, there is no previous report regarding radiologically detected gas within the vessel wall or lumen secondary to dissection. We discuss this uncommon radiologic sign and its possible pathogenesis with a review of the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 10.856403636273keywords = artery, carotid, carotid artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
