متن کاملAsymptomatic bruit, carotid and vertebrobasilar transient ischemic attacks--a clinical and ultrasonic correlation.
One hundred patients with asymptomatic carotid bruit or transient ischemic attack (TIA) underwent continuous-wave Doppler (CWD) and real time ultrasound (RTU) testing of their cervical carotid arteries. After ultrasonic studies, 51 patients also underwent bilateral carotid angiography. There was 95% agreement between CWD and angiography for the diagnosis of a significant (greater than 50%) sten...
متن کاملDolichoectasia in vertebrobasilar arteries presented as transient ischemic attacks: A case report
BACKGROUND Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a rare vasculopathy. The etiology of this disease is unknown. Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) of vertebrobasilar system refer to a transient (< 24 hours) lowering of blood flow in the posterior circulation of the brain. We present a case of dolichoectasia in the vertebrobasilar artery that presented with TIAs. CASE REPORT A hypertensive 54-...

Background: Vertigo without other neurological symptoms is usually not supposed to be due to a vascular cause. However, hypoperfusion of the anterior cerebellar artery can lead to ischemia of the vestibular labyrinth and/or vestibular nuclei in the pontomedullary region whereas hypoperfusion of the posterior cerebellar artery can cause ischemia of the vestibulocerebellum, all resulting in isola...
