Multiple reversible episodes of subcortical ischemia following postcoital middle cerebral artery dissection.
BACKGROUND Subcortical transient ischemic attacks are usually seen in individuals with small-vessel disease. They are often refractory to medical treatment and progress to infarction in many cases. PATIENT We describe a young man with an unusual and protracted case of recurrent capsular ischemia due to postcoital middle cerebral artery dissection. CONCLUSION Spontaneous middle cerebral arte...
متن کاملResearch Paper: Optimization of Transient Focal Cerebral Ischemia Model by Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion
Introduction: Cerebral ischemia is one of the most common causes of death in human populations in the industrial communities. The need for animal models is inevitable to study the pathophysiology and treatment of cerebral ischemia in human. The current study aimed at evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of different techniques used to create ischemia in previous studies and optimizing the tr...
متن کاملBihemispheric Subcortical Infarcts in the Middle Cerebral Artery Territory
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies have suggested embolic mechanisms for bihemispheric subcortical infarcts involving the anterior and posterior circulation. However, the mechanism of bihemispheric subcortical infarcts in middle cerebral artery (MCA) territories remains uncertain. We describe a patient with acute bihemispheric subcortical infarcts in restricted MCA territories suggesting a...
متن کاملProtective effects of Vitex agnus-castus in ovariectomy mice following permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion
Objective(s): Previous studies have indicated that phytoestrogens induce estrogenic as well as anti-inflammatory effects, and they are found in high abundance in the extracts of some herbs such as Vitex Agnus Castus (VAC). Therefore, we investigated the effect of VAC extract on ovariectomized mice after the induction of permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (PMCAO...
متن کاملReversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome with concurrent bilateral carotid artery dissection.
BACKGROUND The pathophysiological basis of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome is poorly understood but carotid artery dissection has been discussed as a rare possible cause. So far, only single cases of unilateral carotid artery dissection and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome have been reported. CASE Here, we describe the case of a 54-year old patient presenting to the...
