MR imaging of subcallosal artery infarct causing amnesia after surgery for anterior communicating artery aneurysm.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE During surgery to treat an aneurysm in the anterior communicating artery, injury to the subcallosal artery, a perforator of the anterior communicating artery, may lead to infarction that produces basal forebrain amnesia after surgery. Our purpose was to examine whether 3D MR imaging can detect subcallosal artery infarction in patients with amnesia after surgery for an ant...
متن کاملRebleeding of a Splenic Artery Aneurysm after Coil Embolisation
Background. Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is an uncommon and difficult diagnosis. SAA is more common in females. Only 20% of SAA is symptomatic and may present as a rupture. A ruptured SAA is associated with a 25% mortality rate. Case Presentation. We present a case of a male patient with a bleeding SAA that rapidly increased in size. Distal coiling was technically impossible and despite proxim...
متن کاملFornix infarction after clipping of anterior communicating artery aneurysm.
We report a case of a 56-year-old, right-handed woman with short-term memory impairment after clipping of an incidentally discovered 6-mm anterior communicating artery aneurysm. She quit smoking five months before surgery after a 30 pack-year smoking history. Her previous medical history was otherwise notable for depression, for which she had been prescribed fluoxetine. Her father died secondar...
متن کاملAzygos anterior cerebral artery mimicking an anterior communicating artery aneurysm.
The CT appearance of intracranial aneurysms has been well described. Though a definitive diagnosis often requires angiography, the CT findings are often highly suggestive of these frequent , potentially lethal, and curable vascular lesions. We recently encountered a patient who had the typical CT findings of intracranial aneurysm but whose arteriographic findings showed a large azygos anterior ...
متن کاملAmnesia following the rupture and repair of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm.
Clinical analysis and neuropsychological criteria derived from experimental studies of human amnesic syndromes, particularly the alcoholic Korsakoff's syndrome, have been used to characterise an unusual form of amnesia that occurred in two patients after rupture of an anterior communication cerebral artery aneurysm. Intraoperative observation and multiple CT scans did not reveal focal brain dam...
