Accessory middle cerebral artery associated with two intracranial aneurysms
Objective and importance: albeit very likely underdisclosed, duplication of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is a rather unfrequently recognized angiographic finding. In this instance the anomaly was associated with two intracranial aneurysms, one ruptured. Clinical presentation: an anomalous, twin-like MCA, departing from a dominant left pre-communicating anterior cerebral artery and extending...
متن کاملCase Reports Cerebral Infarction Associated With Protein C Deficiency
Background and Purpose: A deficiency of plasma protein C, both the hereditary and acquired types, is one cause of thromboembolic disease. Several antineoplastic agents have been reported to decrease the production of protein C in the liver by impairing either the absorption or metabolism of vitamin K, leading to acquired protein C deficiency. Case Description: We treated a young woman with prot...
متن کاملMiddle cerebral artery variations: duplicated and accessory arteries.
PURPOSE Our goal was to analyze the anatomic similarity between the duplicated middle cerebral artery (MCA) and the accessory MCA and their relationship to the early branches of the MCA. METHODS We reviewed stereoscopic angiograms of duplicated MCAs in four patients and accessory MCAs in four patients with reference to the origin, size, and cortical supply of these anomalous vessels, along wi...
متن کاملBilateral accessory middle cerebral arteries associated with an aneurysm of the anterior circulation.
An accessory middle cerebral artery is one variation of the intracranial vasculature that may be a source of misinterpretation by clinicians dealing with cerebrovascular diseases. We report a case of an elderly female found to have bilateral accessory middle cerebral arteries, who presented with the rupture of an aneurysm of the anterior part of the circle of Willis. Accessory middle cerebral a...
متن کاملCase Reports Cerebral Infarction in Patients With Nephrotic Syndrome
We describe two adult patients who presented with acute cerebral infarction and were found to have a hypercoagulable state due to nephrotic syndrome. One patient had a deficiency of free protein-S. The other patient had a pulmonary embolus 4 months after the stroke. Our cases demonstrate that the hypercoagulable state associated with nephrotic syndrome can be associated with cerebral arterial t...
