Cervical carotid artery vasospasms causing cerebral ischemia: detection by immediate vascular ultrasonographic investigation.
BACKGROUND The etiology of cerebral ischemic accidents in young adults often remains unclarified. CASE DESCRIPTION A 32-year-old woman presented after multiple episodes of left monocular visual impairment and right-sided focal signs. MRI revealed a low-flow infarction on the left; color-coded duplex sonography (CCDS), however, showed normal vascular findings. During the inpatient rehabilitati...
متن کاملRecurrent Extracranial Carotid Artery Vasospasms
Background and Purpose—Spontaneous vasospasms of the submandibular internal carotid arteries are rarely observed. They are a highly dynamic process, recur frequently, and can be detected by serial ultrasound examinations. Summary of Cases—We present 2 cases of recurrent extracranial vasospasms of the internal carotid artery as a cause of stroke. In both cases, arterial dissection was initially ...
متن کاملCarotid artery thrombosis and cerebral infarction after multiple traumas
Carotid artery thrombosis and concomitant brain infarction after blunt trauma are rare conditions. We report a 34-year-old woman with multiple traumas due to pedestrian car accident. At the time of initial visiting, she was somnolent and her Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score was 14. Initial vital signs (V/S) and brain computed tomography (CT) scan were normal. One day after admission to the emerge...

متن کاملCervical Carotid Artery
Background and Purpose A model for cerebral ischemia that requires injection of emboli into the internal carotid artery of the rabbit is commonly used. However, in our experience we have found the anatomy of the cervical carotid to be highly variable. If not appreciated, this may result in unexpectedly high variability in the severity of ischemic injury. We undertook this experimental protocol ...
