Clusters of microembolic signals: a new form of cerebral microembolism presentation in a patient with middle cerebral artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND Middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis is a rare occlusive disease in western populations, with a high risk of stroke recurrence. An artery-to-artery embolic mechanism has been argued. We report the detection of a new pattern of microembolic signals (MES) in the MCA poststenotic segment in a patient with multiple recurrent transient ischemic attacks. CASE DESCRIPTION A 75-year-old m...
متن کاملUnruptured Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysm in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erthematosus: A Diagnostic Challenge
A 22-year-old female patient presented to the Emergency Department of a tertiary care hospital with symptoms of headache and nausea. She has been on a regular follow-up for the preceding three and a half years after being diagnosed as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). She had been treated earlier for SLE nephritis in the same institution, and had two relapses of nephrotic syndrome in the last...
متن کاملMicroembolic signal predicts recurrent cerebral ischemic events in acute stroke patients with middle cerebral artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral embolism is a common cause of stroke. Microembolic signals (MES) detected by transcranial Doppler represent ongoing embolisms, but the lack of reliable data about its clinical relevance hinders its widespread use in clinical practice. METHODS We prospectively monitored 114 consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis for...
متن کاملfrequency of microembolic signals in patients with acute ischemic stroke in middle cerebral artery territory treated with aspirin or clopidogrel.
background: in patients with acute stroke and middle cerebral artery (mca) stenosis, microembolic signals (mes) can predict further cerebral ischemia. therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of mes by transcranial doppler (tcd) in patients with mca stenosis under treatment of aspirin or clopidogrel. methods: a randomized clinical trial was performed on 40 patients with acu...
متن کاملSuperficial temporal artery-to-middle cerebral artery bypass surgery for middle cerebral artery stenosis in a patient with cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy
Cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy is a rare hereditary small vessel disease. Ischemic events are the main clinical manifestation of this condition. Here, we present a case in which superficial temporal artery-to-middle cerebral artery anastomosis was performed in a patient with cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy with subcortical inf...
