Severe symptomatic vasospasm after rupture of an arteriovenous malformation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 31-year-old woman had intracerebral and intraventricular hemorrhage from an arteriovenous malformation. Vasospasm of the internal carotid arteries developed and was treated with angioplasty. On initial CT scans, only traces of blood were seen in the basal cisterns; thus, the development of symptomatic vasospasm was an unexpected complication.

متن کاملLiquid embolization of brain arteriovenous malformation using novel detachable tip micro catheter: a technical report.
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Liquid embolization using Onyx® of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is sometimes limited by micro catheter retention by Onyx® cast during the disengagement process. Use of the new detachable tip micro catheter is presented in this report. CLINICAL PRESENTATION Two feeding arteries of a previously ruptured brain AVM in a 62-year-old man were embolized by Onyx ...
متن کاملCervical Epidural Hematoma after Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation Therapy in a Patient with an Undiagnosed Cervical Spinal Arteriovenous Malformation
Spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) occurring after chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy (CSMT) is a rare clinical phenomenon. Our case is unique because the patient had an undiagnosed cervical spinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) discovered on pathological analysis of the evacuated hematoma. Although the spinal manipulation likely contributed to the rupture of the AVM, there was no radiograp...
متن کاملEndothelial cells from human cerebral aneurysm and arteriovenous malformation release ET-1 in response to vessel rupture.
Cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are a common cause of stroke and cerebral hemorrage. Both are often discovered when they rupture, causing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). SAH-induced vasospasm is mediated by enhanced vasoconstriction due to endothelin-1 (ET-1). We investigated whether endothelial cells (ECs) obtained from aneurysm and AVM express phenotypic and genotypic ...
