Advanced Imaging Modalities in the Detection of Cerebral Vasospasm
The pathophysiology of cerebral vasospasm following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is complex and is not entirely understood. Mechanistic insights have been gained through advances in the capabilities of diagnostic imaging. Core techniques have focused on the assessment of vessel caliber, tissue metabolism, and/or regional perfusion parameters. Advances in imaging have provided clinic...
متن کاملVasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage: diagnosis with MR angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The possibility of treating intracranial vasospasm has increased the significance of its diagnosis and follow-up; however, so far, no ideal method is available. The goal of this study was to assess the accuracy of MR angiography versus intraarterial angiography (IA-DSA) in detecting vasospasm. METHODS The study included 42 patients with acute spontaneous subarachnoid he...
متن کاملMR-angiography allows defining severity grades of cerebral vasospasm in an experimental double blood injection subarachnoid hemorrhage model in rats
OBJECTIVE Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been used for the detection of cerebral vasospasm (VSP) related infarction in experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (eSAH) in rats. Conventional angiography is generally used to visualize VSP, which is an invasive technique with a possible increase in morbidity and mortality. In this study we evaluated the validity of MR-angiography (MRA) in detectin...
متن کاملAngiographic demonstration of reversible cerebral vasospasm in porphyric encephalopathy.
The porphyrias are rare inherited diseases of heme biosynthesis which can involve the central nervous system. The most frequent clinical manifestations are peripheral neuropathy and mental disturbance (1). Recent studies have proposed vasculopathy as a cause of reversible ischemia (2, 3). We report a case of reversible vasospasm in porphyric encephalopathy demonstrated by both magnetic resonanc...
متن کاملComparative Efficacy of Meloxicam and Placebo in Vasospasm of Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Cerebral vasospasm considered to be a serious cause of morbidity and mortality following subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH).Despite several available therapeutic options, current protocols do not prevent major consequences of vasospasm. Inflammation is believed to play an important role in post-haemorrhagic vasospasm. Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The aim of this study was to...
