Characteristics and Outcomes of Vertebrobasilar Artery Dissection with Accompanied Atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND With the popularity of MRI use, vertebrobasilar artery dissection (VBD) has been found more frequently in patients with posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCS). The relationship between VBD and atherosclerosis is unknown. The present study aimed to prove the hypothesis that PCS with pure VBD (p-VBD) and with VBD and accompanied cervical or cerebral artery atherosclerosis (a-VBD) ...
متن کاملClinical and neuroradiological features of intracranial vertebrobasilar artery dissection.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to determine the clinical and neuroradiological features of intracranial vertebrobasilar artery dissection. METHODS The clinical features and MR findings of 31 patients (20 men and 11 women) with intracranial vertebrobasilar artery dissections confirmed by vertebral angiography were analyzed retrospectively. The vertebral angiography revealed the double lumen ...
متن کاملIntracranial Vertebrobasilar Artery Dissection Associated with Postpartum Angiopathy
Background. Cervicocephalic arterial dissection (CCAD) is rare in the postpartum period. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of postpartum angiopathy (PPA) presenting with ischemic stroke due to intracranial arterial dissection. Case. A 41-year-old woman presented with blurred vision, headache, and generalized seizures 5 days after delivering twins. She was treated with magnesium f...
متن کاملIntracranial Vertebrobasilar Artery Dissections
Background and Purpose The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the magnetic resonance features of intracranial vertebrobasilar artery dissections and to determine the potential and limitations of magnetic resonance imaging in their diagnosis. Methods We studied five consecutive patients with angiographically verified intracranial vertebrobasilar artery dissection with magnetic resonance ima...
متن کاملVertebrobasilar Artery Occlusion
The presentation of vertebrobasilar artery occlusion varies with the cause of occlusion and location of ischemia. This often results in delay in diagnosis. Areas of the brain supplied by the posterior circulation are difficult to visualize and usually require angiography or magnetic resonance imaging. Intravenous thrombolysis and local-intra arterial thrombolysis are the most common treatment a...
