The diagnosis of cerebrovascular accident is extremely common in emergency medicine; however, CVA resulting from hemorrhage following mycotic brain aneurysm following embolic stroke is extremely uncommon. This case reports such an event.

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study and literature review. OBJECTIVE To provide more comprehensive data about carotid artery injury (CAI) or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) related to anterior cervical spine surgery. METHODS We conducted a retrospective, multicenter, case series study involving 21 high-volume surgical centers from the AOSpine North America Clinical Research Network. Medical rec...

BP: bullous pemphigoid BPAG: bullous pemphigoid antigen CVA: cerebrovascular accident INTRODUCTION Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune disease that results in the formation of tense bullae, usually affecting the elderly population. The pathogenesis involves deposition of IgG autoantibodies in basement membrane hemidesmosomes followed by complement activation and subsequent recruitment of i...

Subdural empyema (SDE) and cerebrovascular accident (CVA) are uncommon life-threatening complications of bacterial meningitis, which require urgent neurosurgical intervention to prevent adverse outcomes. Clinicians must be vigilant of the onset of focal neurologic deficits or seizure activity to establish the diagnosis of SDE. Streptococcus pneumoniae accounts for <1% of pyogenic brain abscesse...

UNLABELLED Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is a serious complication of untreated arterial hypertension. INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to compare the cost of secondary prevention and treatment of CVA caused by untreated arterial hypertension. METHODS Cost-effectiveness analysis of diagnosis and therapy of arterial hypertension in comparison with CVA treatment. RESULTS The cost of s...

Metabolic syndrome is characterized by clustering of metabolic abnormalities which includes insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, central obesity, dyslipidemia and hypertension. This study was carried out to analyse the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its individual components in 200 patients, 100 each of coronary artery disease (CAD) and cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Subjects attendi...

Ischaemic Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) has been shown to be associated with abnormal lipid profile (dyslipidaemia) as a risk factor. There is paucity of data regarding this in this environment hence this study. In this study, a total number of 63 subjects were recruited comprised of 33 patients with cerebrovascular accident (stroke) and 30 apparently healthy volunteers as control. A complete ...

Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...

Stroke, also known as a cerebral vascular accident (CVA), is the most common and the most threatening cerebrovascular condition and is one of the main factors contributing to the increase in global mortality. In this paper an approached is proposed for detection of brain stroke.
