Teaching NeuroImages: artery-to-artery embolism from a thrombosed cerebral aneurysm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 42-year-old man presented with right hemiparesis. Brain imaging showed acute infarction in the left middle cerebral artery territory and a thrombosed aneurysm (figure). Extracranial carotid artery was normal. EKG and echocardiography were normal. Holter monitoring for 24 hours revealed no cardiac source of embolism. Cerebral infarction is a rare complication of unruptured aneurysm.1 The imaging changes over time strongly suggest artery-to-artery embolism due to thrombosed unruptured aneurysm.

متن کاملThrombosed pulmonary artery aneurysm. A rare cause of a high-probability lung scan.
The high-probability ventilation-perfusion lung scan is accepted as supportive of pulmonary embolism and often negates further diagnostic evaluation; however, there are processes that mimic the clinical presentation and radiographic findings of pulmonary emboli, including a unilateral segmental or greater perfusion defect. We present the findings in a patient whose presentation and ventilation-...

An 81-year-old female presented with a giant aneurysm of the distal anterior cerebral artery (A3) which grew from a small saccular aneurysm to a huge aneurysm within 36 months before manifesting as a mass lesion. The thrombosed portion of the aneurysm showed growth, whereas the aneurysmal cavity did not change in size. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed new bleeding in th...
