Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome occurring three weeks after carotid endarterectomy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome is a recognized complication of carotid endarterectomy. Various studies have documented an incidence of 0.3 to 1.2%. It occurs in the setting of sudden reperfusion of a chronically hypoperfused hemisphere. We present here a case of a 48-year-old lady who developed cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome three weeks after undergoing a carotid endarterectomy for high-grade carotid artery stenosis.

Delayed Cerebral Hyperperfusion Syndrome Three Weeks after Carotid Artery Stenting Presenting as Status Epilepticus
Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is increasingly recognized as an uncommon, but serious, complication subsequent to carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The onset of CHS generally occurs within two weeks of CEA and CAS, and a delay in the onset of CHS of over one week after CAS is quite rare. We describe a patient who developed CHS three weeks after CAS with sta...
متن کاملHyperperfusion syndrome with hemorrhage after angioplasty for middle cerebral artery stenosis.
Hyperperfusion syndrome is a well-documented complication of carotid endarterectomy, as well as internal carotid artery angioplasty and stent placement. We report a similar complication after distal intracranial (middle cerebral artery [MCA] M2 segment) angioplasty. To our knowledge, this is the first report of hyperperfusion syndrome after intracranial angioplasty of a distal MCA branch.
متن کاملA new rodent model of cerebral hyperperfusion.
BACKGROUND Most studies of hyperperfusion and hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid endarterectomy or carotid stenting are based on clinical observation or meta-analyses in patients, whereas there is little corresponding fundamental research since proper animal model that can reproduce phenotype stably is not available. Therefore, we developed a rat model in which the pathophysiologic process o...
متن کاملUncommon Etiology for Seizure: Cerebral Hyperperfusion Syndrome
Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a rare life-threatening complication of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) for carotid artery stenosis. The incidence varies between 0 and 3%, depending on the severity of the stenosis, perioperative hypertension, and contralateral carotid stenosis. This case report reports a 53-year-old female patient presenting with decreas...
متن کاملDiagnostic impact of transcranial color-coded real-time sonography with echo contrast agents for hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid endarterectomy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate availability of transcranial color-coded real-time sonography (TCCS) to detect hyperperfusion after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). METHODS This prospective study included 105 consecutive patients who underwent CEA for severe carotid stenosis. TCCS with echo contrast agents was performed serially to evaluate flow velocity o...
