Acute carotid T occlusion in a young patient: cryptogenic origin?
A 32-year-old man without previous medical problems had acute global aphasia and right-sided hemiplegia (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score 16 points) shortly after carrying a heavy mirror. Smoking (8 pack-years) was his only vascular risk factor. Computed tomographic angiography demonstrated a left carotid T occlusion (occlu-sion of the carotid artery, middle and anterior...
متن کاملCarotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...

We appreciate the letter by Benito et al. emphasising the possible association between orthostatic tremor and vitamin B12 deficiency, which highlights the causal association between these 2 entities and the existing literature on this subject. Indeed, being aware of this association, and given the medical history of the patient, we did review her vitamin B12 levels. At the time they were betwee...
متن کاملAsymptomatic carotid occlusion in a young HIV-infected patient receiving HAART.
The discovery of an asymptomatic and spontaneous internal carotid occlusion in a young HIV-infected patient, without atherosclerosis, asks the question of cardio-vascular disease's mechanism. A pro-atherogenic profile HAART-associated does not fully explain the high cardio-vascular disease's incidence among the HIV infected population. Carotid stenosis and/or thrombophilic conditions are emerge...
متن کاملCatastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome presenting as acute vascular occlusion in a young female patient.
Acquired thrombotic and thromboembolic disorders may be presented initially with symptoms and signs of acute ischaemia or organ dysfunction that will lead many of these patients to seek care in the emergency department. We report a case of a 19-year-old female patient who developed catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS syndrome or Asherson syndrome) 6 weeks post stillbirth with an initia...
