CT angiography of cerebral vasospasm with conventional angiographic comparison.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage underwent CT angiography and conventional angiography at presentation. In each patient, both studies were repeated after the onset of intracranial vasospasm. In both cases, CT angiograms were able to demonstrate convincingly the conventional angiographic findings. CT angiography may prove useful in the evaluation of vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Impact of cerebral microcirculatory changes on cerebral blood flow during cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral microcirculatory changes during cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are still controversial and uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of cerebral microcirculation during cerebral vasospasm and to clarify the roles of microcirculatory disturbances in cerebral ischemia by measuring cerebral circulation time (C...
متن کاملNoninvasive imaging of treated cerebral aneurysms, Part II: CT angiographic follow-up of surgically clipped aneurysms.
Although not useful for the evaluation of coiled aneurysms, CT angiography (CTA) is far superior to MR angiography (MRA) for the evaluation of aneurysms after surgical clipping. Using the latest multidetector row scanners and optimized imaging parameters, CTA can often effectively depict and follow small aneurysm remnants; demonstrate patency, stenosis, or vasospasm in the adjacent parent vesse...

متن کاملAngiographic vasospasm is strongly correlated with cerebral infarction after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The long-standing concept that delayed cerebral infarction after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage results exclusively from large artery vasospasm recently has been challenged. We used data from the CONSCIOUS-1 trial to determine the relationship between angiographic vasospasm and cerebral infarction after subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS We performed a post hoc explor...
متن کاملCortical blood flow during cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: three-dimensional N-isopropyl-p-[(123)I]iodoamphetamine single photon emission CT findings.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relationship between regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) during cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and angiographic vasospasm and the value of rCBF in predicting vasospasm and the prognosis are not fully delineated. Our aim was to investigate the changes in extent of vasospasm-induced decreased cortical rCBF on three-dimensional (3D) displays of si...
