چکیده
A case of a 79-year-old man, affected by persistent right eye blindness after multiple episodes of transient left hemiparesis and right eye amaurosis. Brain computed tomography (Angio CT) well documented right internal carotid artery (ICA) plaque with a 8-mm thrombus extending from ICA origin to the ophthalmic artery, in progressive lysis in the next days.

Carotid artery thrombosis and cerebral infarction after multiple traumas
Carotid artery thrombosis and concomitant brain infarction after blunt trauma are rare conditions. We report a 34-year-old woman with multiple traumas due to pedestrian car accident. At the time of initial visiting, she was somnolent and her Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score was 14. Initial vital signs (V/S) and brain computed tomography (CT) scan were normal. One day after admission to the emerge...
متن کاملCarotid artery dissection-related intracranial aneurysm development: case report.
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE We analyzed the physiopathology of the association between cervical artery dissections (CADs), intracranial aneurysms (IAs), and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 43-year-old woman presented with diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage (Fisher 3; Hunt-Hess 1). computed tomography angiography revealed a cervical internal carotid artery dissection and...

A 60-year-old man developed a disturbed consciousness and left hemiplegia following a judo chokehold. His opponent’s arm probably compressed his right carotid artery for less than 1 minute. Brain computed tomography (CT) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showed right middle cerebral artery territory infarction (Picture 1, arrows). Filling defects and a thrombus were found in the...
متن کاملRadiological measurements of dimensions of acutely ruptured internal carotid artery aneurysm: a comparative study between computed tomographic angiography and digital subtraction angiography
After aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, most center practices treatment modality selection based on size and geometry in computed tomographic angiography. However, the validity as compared to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is not well studied. Twenty patients with ruptured internal carotid artery aneurysm were identified in a two-year period. Mean difference in measurements from 3D com...
متن کاملCarotid Angiography in Patients With Lacunar Infarction
We prospectively studied the results of carotid angiography in 45 patients with transient or nondisabling neurologic deficits caused by lacunar infarction in the internal capsule or corona radiata and demonstrated by computed tomography. An ipsilateral stenosis at the bifurcation of the internal carotid artery was found in 14 patients (31%, 95% confidence limits 18-47%), seven of whom also had ...
