Coiled Internal Carotid Arteries Associated with Bilateral Sequential Strokes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The risk of stroke and management of coiling of the cervical internal carotid artery in the absence of an atherosclerotic carotid bulb lesion is unclear. We report a case of an otherwise healthy 39-year-old woman who developed bilateral sequential strokes associated with bilateral coiled internal carotid arteries. We discuss the risk of stroke and management of coiled carotid arteries as they relate to the patient presented.

Carotid 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 کاملDynamic CT scanning for visualization of the parasellar carotid arteries.
Evaluation of patients before transsphenoidal hypophysectomy for large intrasellar mass lesions has required bilateral internal carotid artery angiography. Using intravenous injection of contrast medium, a method has been developed to visualize the parasellar carotid arteries with rapid sequence sequential computed tomographic scanning. In 18 patients, the cavernous segments of the internal car...
