Concurrent Ruptured Pseudoaneurysm of the Internal Carotid Artery and Cerebral Infarction as an Initial Manifestation of Polycythemia Vera
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most common neurologic manifestations of polycythemia vera (PV) are cerebral infarction and transient ischemic attacks, while cerebral hemorrhage or intracranial dissection has been rarely associated with PV. Here we report the first case of a 59-year-old patient with intracranial supraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection causing cerebral infarction and concomitant subarachnoid hemorrhage due to pseudoaneurysm rupture as clinical onset of PV. This case report discusses the possible mechanism and treatment of this extremely rare condition.

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 کاملConcurrent Stenoocclusive Disease of Intracranial and Extracranial Arteries in a Patient with Polycythemia Vera
Moyamoya disease is a stenoocclusive disease involving the intracranial carotid and proximal middle cerebral arteries. There are rarely any additional extracranial stenoses occurring concurrently with moyamoya. The pathophysiology of moyamoya remains obscure, but hematologic disorders, notably sickle-cell anemia, have been associated in some cases. We describe the novel case of polycythemia ver...
متن کاملOccipital infarction with hemianopsia from carotid occlusive disease.
Extracranial internal carotid artery occlusive disease usually produces stroke in the middle cerebral artery territory or the border zone between the middle and anterior cerebral arteries. It is unusual for occipital infarction in the posterior cerebral artery territory to be caused by internal carotid artery disease despite the fact that the posterior cerebral artery may arise directly from th...
متن کاملVariant of Persistent Primitive Trigeminal Artery Associated with Giant Internal Carotid Artery Pseudoaneurysm
We report a rare variation of the left persistent primitive trigeminal artery with direct anastomosis with the ipsilateral posterior cerebral artery in a 53-year-old women. She was sent to the hospital with visual deterioration and consciousness disturbance (Glasgow coma scale = E4V3M5). Marked hydrocephalus was found. An associated giant pseudoaneurysm was shown arising from the cisternal segm...
