BACKGROUND Isolated transient vertigo can be the only symptom of posterior circulation ischemia. Thus, it is important to differentiate isolated vertigo of a cerebrovascular origin from that of more benign origins, as patients with cerebral ischemia have a much higher risk for future stroke than do those with 'peripheral' vertigo. The current study aims to identify risk factors for cerebrovascu...

Endogenous CO, a product of heme oxygenase activity, has vasodilator and cytoprotective effects in the cerebral circulation of newborn pigs. CO-releasing molecule (CORM)-A1 (sodium boranocarbonate) is a novel, water-soluble, CO-releasing compound. We addressed the hypotheses that CORM-A1 1) can deliver CO to the brain and exert effects of CO on the cerebral microvasculature and 2) is cerebropro...

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare hereditary lysosomal storage disease that has been highlighted as a possible etiology of stroke at a young age. The prevalence of ischemic stroke has been reported to be about 12 times greater in FD patients than that expected in a comparable general population. Cerebrovascular events in males typically occur at an early age and preferentially within the territory o...

Introduction: Recurrent spontaneous vertigo/dizziness episodes may manifest as fleeting occurrences. It is uncommon for vascular vertigo to cause an isolated positional vestibular condition, also known recurrent or disorientation. The anteriormost boundary of the structure solitary anterior communicating artery (ACom), which connects ring bilateral cerebral arteries (ACA).
 aim: This artic...

BACKGROUND Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is a disease caused by spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, involving the nervous system. It usually manifests as lymphocytic meningoradiculitis, but in rare cases, it can also lead to cerebrovascular complications. We aimed to perform a systematic review of all reported cases of LNB complicated by central nervous system vasculitis and stroke or transient isch...

Introduction: The problem of early diagnostics of cerebral circulation pathology in children, who are exposed to industrial toxicants, is not well-studied. Objective: The study was designed to assess the features of impaired cerebral circulation in children, when exposed to environmental formaldehyde, phenol, cresol and methanol. Method: A total of 120 children (6 to 10 years of age) who lived ...
