Intracranial 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 کاملMultiple Spontaneous Intracranial-Extracranial Arterial Dissections in a Patient with Osteogenesis Imperfecta
A 40-year-old male with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) was admitted to the hospital with an acute right monoparesis. Diffusion-weighted MRI showed infarction in the territory of the left anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and in the left posterior cerebral artery (PCA). In his vascular imaging, occlusion of the left vertebral artery (VA) starting from V2 segment was consistent with dissection and pse...
متن کاملIntracranial vertebrobasilar stenosis: angioplasty and follow-up.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE When medication fails to improve symptoms of atherosclerotic stenosis of the intracranial vertebral and basilar arteries, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is considered. However, because investigators disagree on the usefulness of this procedure, we conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the indications, efficacy, and safety of PTA. METHODS Twenty patien...
متن کاملPrognosis and safety of anticoagulation in intracranial artery dissections in adults.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To characterize different forms of intracranial artery dissections (IADs), and to test the assumption that IADs are frequently associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and poor outcome, and that anticoagulant therapy is contraindicated in these patients. METHODS We studied 81 consecutive non-SAH IAD patients and 22 IAD patients with SAH, diagnosed between 1994 and ...
