Carotid arteriosclerosis is the main cause of stroke but it can also lead to ophthalmic symptoms. In this article, we aim present four patients. All them had hemodynamically significant asymptomatic unilateral carotid stenosis and underwent internal endarterectomy. Postoperatively, their visual function improved. Mean deviation in perimetry values amplitudes pattern evoked potentials increased....

abstract acute upper airway obstruction (uao) is a life threatening complication that is well recognized after carotid endarterectomy, thyroidectomy and pharyngeal area intervention. it is not widely acknowledged that airway obstruction can occur after cervical spinal fusion surgery which was first described in 1955. there are a number of common postoperative problems which may become apparent ...

background: a precise understanding of the mechanism of human neointimal stenoses and atherosclerotic fibrous plaques , which give rise to thromboses in vital arteries, requires a suitable animal model that would mimic the same characteristics well. we developed a rabbit model of neointimal stenosis and fibrotic plaque rupture in the carotid artery to visualize the lesion progress and to charac...

carotid body tumors (cbts) are rare, slow-growing tumors that should be considered in evaluating every lateral neck mass. this single center study was performed to define demographic features, clinical characteristics and remedies of iranian patients with cbt. a retrospective review of prospectively collected data was done on 45 patients with 50 cbts who have been referred to sina hospital, teh...

One-third of patients who develop internal carotid occlusion will die or have disabling cerebral symptoms. ~ The results of urgent carotid thromboendarterectomy in patients with established internal carotid occlusion were disappointing. Extracranial to intracranial bypass in symptomatic patients with internal carotid artery occlusion produced high numbers of strokes and was not of benefit. 2 At...

OBJECTIVE As a vascular risk factor, carotid atherosclerosis is crucial to cognitive impairment. While carotid intima-media thickness, carotid artery plaque, and carotid stenosis can reflect carotid atherosclerosis in different stages, this review aimed to explore researches on the role of carotid intima-media thickness, carotid artery plaque, and carotid stenosis in the progress of cognitive i...
