Cerebral vasculopathy in children with sickle cell anemia.

Sickle cell anemia (SCA)-associated cerebral vasculopathy and moyamoya is a unique entity reflecting the abnormal interactions between sickled red blood cells (RBCs) and the cerebral arterial endothelium. Endothelial injury, coagulation activation, and the inflammatory response generated by sickled RBCs are implicated in the development of cerebral vasculopathy, but the pathophysiology remains ...

Rapidly progressive intracranial artery stenosis in primary antiphospholipid syndrome

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is usually a disease of young adults. In elderly stroke patients APS was not associated with progressive intracerebral stenosis in the past. Here, we report a 65-year-old patient who presented with recurrent ischemic strokes associated with progressive stenosis of the right middle cerebral artery. Antiphospholipid antibodies were detected and treatment w...

Frequency and Risk Factors for Cerebral Arterial Disease in a HIV/AIDS Neuroimaging Cohort.

BACKGROUND Infection with HIV predisposes patients to a myriad of neurologic disorders, including cerebrovascular disease. The pathophysiology is likely multifactorial, with proposed mechanisms including infectious vasculitis, HIV-induced endothelial dysfunction and adverse effects of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Epidemiologic data on clinically evident cerebral vasculopathy in HI...

Surgical management in patients with coexistent coronary and cerebrovascular disease. Long-term results.

Between January 1980 and December 1992, 3% (210/6,862) of our patients undergoing myocardial revascularization (CABG) had high grade (> 80%) internal carotid stenosis (CS). One hundred seventy-five of these patients with complete follow up for a minimum of 18 months were studied. Bilateral internal CS was present in 60%, and 75% had other vascular lesions, mainly as peripheral vascular disease ...

Carotid artery stenosis as a cause of stroke.

BACKGROUND Population-based studies have estimated that about 15% of ischemic strokes are caused by large-vessel cerebrovascular disease. We determined the types of large-vessel atherosclerosis responsible for ischemic strokes in a population-based stroke study. METHODS Patients with first-ever or recurrent ischemic stroke in the Greater Cincinnati area were identified during 2005 at all loca...
