Endovascular management of spontaneous bilateral symptomatic vertebral artery dissections.
Extracranial vertebral artery (VA) dissection may lead to significant arterial stenosis, occlusion, or pseudoaneurysm formation with subsequent hemodynamic and embolic infarcts. To prevent thromboembolic complications, anticoagulation with intravenous heparin followed by oral warfarin has been recommended for all patients with acute dissections, regardless of the type of symptoms. Nevertheless,...
متن کاملBilateral vertebral artery occlusion without headache in giant cell arteritis
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is well-recognized as an important cause of headache in the elderly. It is also an important element of the differential diagnosis for patients with transient or permanent visual loss. Delay in diagnosis of GCA can lead to blindness. Therefore, clinicians should be alert to atypical presentations in which headache is either not prominent or absent. We present a patien...
متن کاملAtypical Anterior Spinal Artery Infarction due to Left Vertebral Artery Occlusion Presenting with Bilateral Hand Weakness
BACKGROUND Infarct of the anterior spinal artery is the most common subtype of spinal cord infarct, and is characterized by bilateral motor deficits with spinothalamic sensory deficits. We experienced a case with atypical anterior-spinal-artery infarct that presented with bilateral hand weakness but without sensory deficits. CASE REPORT A 29-year-old man presented with sudden neck pain and bi...
متن کاملRuptured vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm associated with parent artery occlusion.
A 63-year-old hypertensive man presented with vertebral artery (VA) dissection manifesting as subarachnoid hemorrhage located mainly in the posterior fossa. Left vertebral angiography on the day of hemorrhage showed complete occlusion of the left VA. Right vertebral angiography showed retrograde filling of the distal portion of the left VA and the left posterior inferior cerebellar artery, and ...
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...
