Epidermal nevus syndrome with internal carotid artery occlusion and intracranial and orbital lipomas.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of epidermal nevus syndrome involving the brain in which there is chronic occlusion of the left distal internal carotid artery resulting in ipsilateral atrophy. Orbital and cerebellopontine angle cistern lipomas and a wide cortical developmental malformation are associated with the condition. We present MR imaging findings of a patient and discuss features in the context of other neurocutaneous diseases.

Neurological involvement in the epidermal naevus syndrome.
The case of a left handed girl aged 18 years suffering from the "epidermal maevus syndrome" is described. She presented with dysphasia, transient left hemiparesis, and sensory symptoms due to an occlusion of the right internal carotid artery. Arterial occlusion, abnormal retinal vessels, and Raynaud's phenomenon have not been previously documented. The neurological complications of this syndrom...
متن کاملCarotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...
متن کاملOrbital infarction syndrome in nephrotic syndrome patient with extensive carotid arteries occlusion.
Orbital infarction syndrome is defined as ischemia of global intraorbital structures such as extraocular muscles, optic nerves, and retina. The most common cause of this syndrome is carotid arterial occlusion. Other causes include vasculitis, vasospasm, and compression of intraorbital circulation. There has never been reported a case of orbital infarction syndrome in nephrotic syndrome patient....
متن کاملA Lumped Parameter Method to Calculate the Effect of Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion on Anterior Cerebral Artery Pressure Waveform
Background and Objective: Numerical modeling of biological structures would be very helpful tool to analyze hundreds of human body phenomena and also diseases diagnosis. One physiologic phenomenon is blood circulatory system and heart hemodynamic performance that can be simulated by utilizing lumped method. In this study, we can predict hemodynamic behavior of one artery of circulatory system (...
متن کاملIntracranial Embolization Via External Carotid Artery: 465 Report of a Case with Angiographic Documentation
This report describes our experiences with a patient who developed delayed recurrent retinal and hemispheric ischemia distal to an old internal carotid artery occlusion in the neck. Fundoscopy and sequential cerebral arteriography documented that recurrent ischemic symptoms in this individual were the result of embolic fragments arising from the "stump" of the occluded internal carotid artery a...
