Cerebral Dissecting Aneurysms in Patients with Essential Thrombocythemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
The etiologies of intracranial artery dissection are various, the exogenous as well as inherited connective tissue disorders. We report on a patient who presented with diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage who had been suffered from essential thrombocythemia. He was diagnosed to multiple dissecting aneurysms of left superior cerebellar artery, left posterior inferior cerebellar artery and right pericallosal artery and treated with endovascular coil embolization.

Background: This investigation was conducted in order to study angiographic findings in patients with cerebral aneurysm. Materials and Methods: The study conducted on 136 cases of ruptured cerebral aneurysms between 1995-2000 confirmed by means of 4-vessel cerebral angiography to get an insight to racial, geographic and environmental factors predisposing to the occurrence of subarachnoid hemorr...
متن کاملDissecting aneurysms of the distal segment of the posterior cerebral artery: clinical presentation and endovascular management
Backgroud: We aimed to evaluate the clinical presentations and report the acceptable clinical and angiographic outcome of the distal posterior cerebral artery (PCA) dissecting aneurysms with parent artery occlusion (PAO). Methods: From June 2006 to July 2013, 26 patients with PCA dissecting aneurysms were planned to be treated via endovascular PAO in our institution. Fourteen patients had ruptu...
متن کاملIntrapetrous internal carotid artery dissection and essential thrombocythemia: what relationship? A case report
Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is responsible for 10-20% of strokes in young and middle-aged patients. Isolated ICA dissection involving the intrapetrous carotid canal is particularly rare, and no case has been reported to describe an association between intrapetrous ICA dissection and essential thrombocythemia. We report a case of ischemic stroke in the presence of intrapetrous right...
متن کاملTreatment of a cerebral dissecting aneurysm in anterior circulation: report of 11 subarachnoid hemorrhage cases.
This report presents 8 cases of internal carotid artery aneurysms, 1 case of a middle cerebral artery aneurysm, and 2 cases of anterior cerebral artery aneurysms, together with a discussion of the treatment of aneurysms in anterior circulation. All cases showed subarachnoid hemorrhage. Two of the 8 internal carotid artery aneurysms were trapped with a low-flow bypass; however, both patients die...
متن کاملDissecting Aneurysms of Posterior Cerebral Artery: Clinical Presentation, Angiographic Findings, Treatment, and Outcome
BACKGROUND The dissecting posterior cerebral artery (PCA) aneurysms are very rare. These aneurysms pose significant treatment challenge and need careful evaluation to formulate an optimal treatment plan in case of ruptured or un-ruptured presentations. METHODS Retrospective review of a prospectively collected data. RESULTS Seven patients with dissecting aneurysms of the PCA were identified....
