Reversible segmental cerebral arterial vasospasm and cerebral infarction: possible association with excessive use of sumatriptan and Midrin.
OBJECTIVE To describe a patient who developed reversible segmental cerebral arterial vasospasm and cerebral infarction while taking excessive amounts of sumatriptan succinate and a combination drug (Midrin) consisting of isometheptene mucate, 65 mg, dichloralphenazone, 100 mg, and acetaminophen, 325 mg. DESIGN Case report. SETTING Tertiary care center. PATIENT A 43-year-old man who develo...
متن کاملCerebral arterial vasospasm.
A person in his 20s with known migraine with aura developed infarcts in the right middle cerebral artery and both anterior fields of supply (Figure 1 shows a magnetic tomography diffusion weighted series). Cerebral computed and magnetic tomography with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) after admission showed normal blood flow and no sign of dissection or vasculitis. Hemicraniectomy became ne...
متن کاملReversible cerebral segmental vasoconstriction.
Vasoconstriction is not recognized as a cause of cerebrovascular disease except in the vasospasm seen following subarachnoid hemorrhage and possibly in migraine. However, we found four patients to have transient, fully reversible vasoconstriction and dilatation prominently involving arteries around the circle of Willis. All four patients were evaluated for severe headaches and fluctuating or re...
متن کاملCerebral vasospasm with infarction.
Cerebral Vasospasm With Infarction • A case of intense unilateral cerebral vasospasm with appropriate neurological deficit following rupture of a posterior communicating aneurysm was followed with serial angiography. Associated with the initially intense spasm was subsequent regional hyperperfusion with early venous filling which disappeared as signs of focal cerebral atrophy ensued. These angi...
متن کاملCerebral vasospasm affects arterial critical closing pressure.
The effect of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) on critical closing pressure (CrCP) has not been fully delineated. Using cerebral impedance methodology, we sought to assess the behavior of CrCP during CVS. As CrCP expresses the sum of intracranial pressure (ICP) and vascular wall tension, we also explored its role in reflecting changes in vascular tone occu...
