Acute superior mesenteric artery occlusion complicated by basilar artery occlusion
نویسنده
چکیده
Acute mesenteric ischemia is a rare cause of abdominal pain with a very high mortality rate. Vague presentation and often misleading clinical findings make the diagnosis elusive. Here, a unique case of complete superior mesenteric artery occlusion further complicated by basilar artery occlusion is illustrated.

Spontaneous Occlusion of a Large Fusiform Basilar Artery Dissecting Aneurysm in a Child Complicated with Brainstem Infarction: a case report
Basilar artery dissecting aneurysms, although very rare in children, may be associated with severe morbidity and mortality. The management of these vascular lesions depends on clinical presentation of patients. Large fusiform vertebro-basilar dissecting aneurysms are exceedingly rare and can exert mass effect on the brainstem and cerebellum. We herein report the neuroimaging findings, including...

A Stanford Type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening surgical emergency that requires emergent surgery. The mortality after repair is high especially if the aortic dissection is complicated by visceral or peripheral malperfusion. We describe a case of a male patient who presented with an aortic dissection involving the ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending thoracic aorta, and the abdomi...

Following confirmation of bowel viability at laparotomy, endovascular int...
متن کاملNeuroimaging Predictors of Clinical Outcome in Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion
Certain early neuroimaging findings are independent predictors of clinical outcome in acute basilar artery occlusion. These imaging findings may serve as important baseline imaging characteristics as well as subgroups in future randomized controlled trials. The purpose of this review is to review and compare early neuroimaging findings seen on non-invasive cranial imaging that predict clinical ...
