متن کاملMultimodality imaging of exuberant mitral annular calcification in a patient presenting with transient ischaemic attack.
We report an unusual case of calcification of mitral valve annulus imaged with multiple non-invasive modalities in a patient who suffered a transient ischaemic attack, probably from thrombus overlying the mitral annular calcification. Both this mode of presentation and the imaging features of the annular calcification were relatively unusual, and the images obtained are remarkably clear and dia...

These inflammatory conditions are also potential risk factors for other complicating presentations such as transient ischaemic attacks, but the pre...
متن کاملTransient ischaemic attack after spinal anaesthesia.
A case of transient ischaemic attack lasting 6 h occurred after spinal anaesthesia with bupivacaine. The level of sensory block was satisfactory and there was no significant hypotension. We discuss the possible cause of this previously undescribed complication.
