Intracranial Carotid Calcification on Cranial Computed Tomography: Visual Scoring Methods, Semiautomated Scores, and Volume Measurements in Patients With Stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial internal carotid artery calcification is associated with cerebrovascular risk factors and stroke, but few quantification methods are available. We tested the reliability of visual scoring, semiautomated Agatston score, and calcium volume measurement in patients with recent stroke. METHODS We used scans from a prospective hospital stroke registry and include...

Bilateral Blunt Internal Carotid Artery Occlusions Associated with Multiple Trauma: A Case Report

In multiple trauma, blunt carotid artery injuries (BCAIs) have occasionally been reported. However, bilateral blunt carotid artery occlusions (Grade 4 BCAIs) associated with multiple trauma are rare, and delays in diagnosis and treatment result in a lethal outcome. Here, we report our experience with bilateral carotid artery occlusions. A 76-year-old female suffered multiple traumas in a motor ...

Intracranial physiological calcifications in adults on computed tomography in Tabriz, Iran.

Intracranial physiological calcifications are unaccompanied by any evidence of disease and have no demonstrable pathological cause. They are often due to calcium and sometimes iron deposition in the blood vessels of different structures of the brain. Computed tomography (CT) is the most sensitive means of detection of these calcifications. The aim of this study was the assessment of intracrania...

Calcification in major vessel beds relates to vascular brain disease.

OBJECTIVE Calcification in atherosclerotic plaques is a novel marker of atherosclerosis and is related to cardiovascular disease. However, its relationship with cerebrovascular disease has not been investigated extensively. We investigated the relationship between calcification in various vessel beds outside the brain and imaging markers of vascular brain disease. METHODS AND RESULTS A total ...
