Transient obstruction of the internal carotid artery during angiography.

چکیده
While performing carotid angiography in a 76-year-old man, we found that the right internal carotid artery repeatedly opened and closed during the examination. The patient experienced no related neurologic events. The explanation, confirmed at surgery, was that a flap associated with an atherosclerotic plaque had acted as a ball valve.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Identification of the intracranial collaterals assists in identifying patients with severe occlusive disease of the internal carotid arteries who are at lower risk of transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and stroke. We investigated the usefulness of MR angiography in identifying functional collaterals of the circle of Willis. METHODS MR angiography of the circle of Willis ...

متن کاملRecurrent Strokes due to Transient Vasospasms of the Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery
Vasospasms of the intracranial arteries are a well-known complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage and are also frequently encountered in other disorders such as migraine, cerebral vasculitis or reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome. In contrast, recurrent spontaneous vasospasms of the extracranial circulation appear to be extremely rare and have most often been associated with migraine. ...
