Frequent ischemic events related to varying middle cerebral artery stenosis.
We herein present the cases of two patients with multiple ischemic events, presumably due to varying degrees of middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis. The first patient was treated medically, and the symptoms and degree of MCA stenosis varied over several months. The second patient received emergent bypass surgery and experienced no further events, although the MCA stenosis progressed over four...
متن کاملMicroembolic signal predicts recurrent cerebral ischemic events in acute stroke patients with middle cerebral artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral embolism is a common cause of stroke. Microembolic signals (MES) detected by transcranial Doppler represent ongoing embolisms, but the lack of reliable data about its clinical relevance hinders its widespread use in clinical practice. METHODS We prospectively monitored 114 consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis for...
متن کاملEmbolism distal to stenosis of the middle cerebral artery.
Fibrin-platelet microembolism in cortical branches distal to stenosis of the middle cerebral artery was directly visualized in a patient with transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and was histopathologically confirmed. Cerebral microembolism may produce TIA in patients with stenosis of the middle cerebral artery and may influence the success of the extracranial-intracranial bypass operation in treat...
متن کاملLacunar infarction due to middle cerebral artery stenosis.
To the Editor Some cases of lacunar infarction with middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis may be explained by the Bernoulli principle. In a constant flow system, the smaller the cross-sectional area, the greater the flow velocity, and the lower the perfusion pressure. If the flow were turbulent, the pressure would be lower still. Thus, if the origin of a lenticulostriate artery were within a st...
متن کاملPrognostic value of doppler ultrasound findings in patients with middle cerebral artery Ischemic stroke
Introduction: There is still no finding available that can show the malignant clinical course in patients with middle cerebral artery stroke. The aim of this study was to compare Doppler ultrasound findings in patients with malignant and non-malignant middle cerebral artery stroke in order to obtain its prognostic value in detecting malignant course. Method:</stro...
