Reversible pontine ischemia caused by acetazolamide challenge.

چکیده
We report the findings in a patient with a midbasilar artery stenosis in whom reversible ischemic neurologic deficits developed during cerebral blood flow imaging with acetazolamide challenge. The potential for ischemic complications from acetazolamide challenge is discussed.

Vascular reserve in chronic cerebral ischemia measured by the acetazolamide challenge test: comparison with positron emission tomography.
PURPOSE To determine the value of the acetazolamide challenge test with stable xenon-enhanced CT (Xe CT) for making therapeutic decisions in patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease. METHODS We compared the Xe CT-measured acetazolamide response with various measures obtained by positron emission tomography. We performed both a positron emission tomographic scan and a Xe CT study in 11 pa...
متن کاملThe acetazolamide challenge: techniques and applications in the evaluation of chronic cerebral ischemia.
The acetazolamide (ACZ) challenge test is a useful clinical tool and a reliable predictor of critically reduced perfusion. In patients with chronic steno-occlusive disease, the ability to maintain normal cerebral blood flow by reducing vascular resistance secondary to autoregulatory vasodilation is compromised. Identification of the presence and degree of autoregulatory vasodilation (reflecting...

Abitract: Effects of Acetazolamide on Cerebral Ischemia and Infarction After Experimental Occlusion of Middle Cerebral Artery • Acetazolamide was given to five of ten cats for 48 to 54 hours after extradural occlusion of a middle cerebral artery (MCA). At seven to eight days later, measurements of regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) and estimates of the sizes of the ischemic and infarcted areas ...
متن کاملA Step-Wise Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Approach of Central Pontine and Extra Pontine Myelinosis in Locked-In Syndrome: A Case Report
Central Pontine Myelinosis (CPM) and Extra Pontine Myelinosis (EPM) are debilitating conditions, resulting from the rapid correction of hyponatremia. The outcome and prognosis of this medical condition are variable; mainly involving functional decline from neuro-musculoskeletal upset. An intensive, multidisciplinary rehabilitation has played an essential role in facilitating and hasten recovery...
متن کاملStudy of binary complexes of nickel(II), copper(II), and vanadium(V) with acetazolamide in aqueous medium by voltammetry
The voltammetric behaviour of acetazolamide, the systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, in the presence of some metal ions (Cu(II), Ni(II), and V(V)) were investigated using square-wave and cyclic voltammetry in physiological pH (pH 7.4). Square-wave voltammogram of acetazolamide in the absence of metal ions gave only 1 reduction peak at -1.65 V attributed to a catalytic hydrogen peak. Three re...
