Basilar embolism.
FOCAL neurological defects due to stenosis or occlusion within the main arterial trunks feeding the brain have become recognized with increasing frequency in recent years. However, until recently, knowledge concerning the effects of occlusion of the internal carotid artery has outstripped that of occlusion within the vertebral-basilar artery system. Both commonly produce ophthalmological featur...
متن کاملParadoxical embolism to the basilar apex associated with May-Thurner syndrome.
BACKGROUND Embolic occlusion of intracranial vessels can be caused by material arising proximally, most commonly from the heart, the aorta, or the carotid or vertebral arteries, and rarely from systemic veins. May-Thurner syndrome is an uncommon condition in which there is impaired venous return because of compression of the left common iliac vein by the overlying right common iliac artery, res...
متن کاملTreatment of basilar artery embolism with a mechanical extraction device: necessity of flow reversal.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The success of local fibrinolysis in vertebrobasilar thromboembolism depends on the volume and composition of the clot. Since thrombolysis can also be time consuming and cause bleeding, we investigated the feasibility of a mechanical clot retraction device based on a nitinol basket advanced through a microcatheter. METHODS Five patients with acute embolism of the basila...
متن کاملBasilar impression
Basilar impression is a skeletal malformation characterized by translocation of the upper cervical spine and clivus into the foramen magnum, giving rise to various symptoms related to brainstem, upper spinal cord, and cerebellar compression. It is generally classified as primary (familial), in which the defect is unaccompanied by intrinsic abnormalities of bone, or as secondary, reflecting an i...
متن کاملBasilar artery occlusion.
Twenty patients with basilar artery occlusion and three patients with bilateral vertebral artery occlusions have been studied. The clinical data at the time of the ictus and the long-term follow-up data have been correlated with the site and extent of the basilar artery occlusion and the type of collateral flow. Patients with hypertension and with coma at the outset have a grave prognosis. The ...
