Calcified vertebral artery and "dense basilar artery sign" in a patient with basilar territory infarction.
Diagnosis of posterior circulation stroke (PCS) may get delayed or missed in patients with atypical signs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), considered to be superior to computerized tomography (CT) in PCS, too is not 100% sensitive, as 20% of patients with PCS may have a negative diffusion-weighted MRI at admission. Moreover, MRI is not universally available and CT is often the initial imaging...
متن کاملBasilar Artery Plaque and Pontine Infarction Location and Vascular Geometry
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Subclinical atherosclerotic plaques are common in patients with pontine infarctions (PIs) but without basilar artery (BA) stenosis. We hypothesized that BA plaque locations may differ by PI type and vertical location as well as vertebrobasilar artery geometry. METHODS Ninety-six patients with PI but without BA stenosis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic re...
متن کاملBasilar artery occlusion.
Twenty patients with basilar artery occlusion and three patients with bilateral vertebral artery occlusions have been studied. The clinical data at the time of the ictus and the long-term follow-up data have been correlated with the site and extent of the basilar artery occlusion and the type of collateral flow. Patients with hypertension and with coma at the outset have a grave prognosis. The ...

متن کاملBasilar artery fenestration.
The posterior circulation of the brain constitutes the vertebrobasilar system and its branches, which are responsible for about 30% of the brain's blood supply. The aim of this study was to describe the anomalies of the basilar artery, especially fenestrations. For that purpose, we examined 50 patients with computed tomography (CT) angiography during an 8-month period. In the CT reports of 2 (4...
