Investigators from the International Pediatric Stroke Study Group (IPSS) reviewed data a multicenter observational cohort of neonates and children with stroke, comparing clinical features outcomes differentiating posterior circulation arterial ischemic stroke (PCAIS) anterior (ACAIS).

Vertebral arteries (VAs) are vulnerable to mechanical stress between the atlas and axis, and subsequent VA dissection can cause posterior circulation infarction. We herein present a rare but informative case of bilateral VA aneurysms that caused recurrent stroke. The localization of the aneurysms and dynamic angiography with neck movement suggested a pathogenesis related to chronic mechanical i...

Acute ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. Treatment efficacy highly time-dependent. Approximately 20% acute ischaemic occurs in the posterior circulation. Clinical presentation circulation subtle. Diagnosis often delayed frequently missed. CT perfusion has improved diagnostic accuracy been integral to guiding therapy patients with anterior stroke. There are limited studi...

Vertebral artery origin stenosis (VAOS) is a treatable cause of posterior circulation stroke in 9–20% of cases. VAOS can cause stroke due to artery–artery thromboembolism or flow-related posterior circulation hypoperfusion. It is recommended to maximize medical treatment of asymptomatic VAOS. Endovascular treatment of symptomatic VAOS is technically safe and effective, and may be used in second...

hemorrhage had been found in the posterior circulation such as vertebral artery in majority cases, but reported cases in the anterior circulation was rare. Those located in the anterior circulation usually manifest as ischemic stroke resulting from arterial stenosis or occlusion. However, spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage in these cases is rare. So, we report a case of dissecting aneurysm of ...

The arterial blood supply to the eye is provided by the ophthalmic artery, one of the branches of the internal carotid artery. The branches of the ophthalmic artery which meet the metabolic needs of the globe are central retinal artery, short and long posterior ciliaries, anterior ciliaries. The central retinal artery enters the globe through the optic nerve and supplies blood to the inner laye...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cortical visual loss is a rare complication of cerebral angiography without a definitive pathophysiology. Given the rapid increase in endovascular procedures used to treat cerebral aneurysms, we explored the prevalence of this complication and whether we could add to the understanding of this disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective review of all pro...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to determine the incidence and short-term outcome of people aged 15 to 49 years with first-ever cerebral infarction in 1988-1997 in Hordaland County, Norway. METHODS Cases were found from computer search of hospital registries and detailed review of patient records. Stroke subtype was classified according to the major intracranial artery affected. Short-term o...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To determine how a recently proposed clinical stroke subclassification corresponds to specific findings on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. METHODS Two hundred twenty-eight patients with first-ever stroke were divided into four clinical subgroups: (1) total anterior circulation syndrome: both cortical and subcortical symptoms f...

Fetal type posterior cerebral artery (FTPCA) is a variant of circulation brain, in which the distal part (PCA) perfused by branch internal carotid (ICA) via fetal communicating (fetal PCOM). In presence PCOM, paradoxical concurrent infarction anterior and may happen. We report 67-year-old man who presented with sudden onset right sided weakness aphasia, National Institutes Health Stroke Scale (...
