Posterior cerebral artery infarction from middle cerebral artery infarction.
BACKGROUND While it is known that posterior cerebral artery (PCA) infarction may simulate middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction, the frequency and localization of this occurrence are unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of PCA infarction mimicking MCA infarction and the territory of the PCA most commonly involved in this simulation. DESIGN We studied 202 patients with isolated in...
متن کاملMalignant middle cerebral artery infarction.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review will report on the new aspects of management of 'malignant' middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarctions. RECENT FINDINGS Large MCA infarctions have been associated with high death rates for years. The most reliable predictors of a 'malignant' course are hypodensity in more than 50% of the MCA territory on computed tomography as well as stroke volume greater than 145...

Because of their slowly progressive nature, they are usually benign and are asymptomatic throughout the patient's life. 1 Pet-roclival meningioma usually originates from the petrous tip medial to the trigeminal ...
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 کاملHemicraniectomy in Malignant Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction
The concept of decompressive surgery for treatment of elevated intracranial pressure has been developed already in the beginning of the 20th century.1 The rationale of this treatment modality consists of opening of the skull and removal of a bone flap to allow the edematous brain to swell outward, thereby preventing intracranial tissue shifts and life-threatening downward herniation. The use of...
