Case Report A 76-year-old man was admitted with symptoms consistent with a right middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction. He was on his way home from a surgical ward, where he had received a stent 4 days before. The stent had been placed in the right internal carotid artery (ICA) to treat a 70% ICA stenosis which produced right-sided amaurosis fugax. The patient had had two previous endarterect...

ultrasound for diagnosis of thrombus ranged from 0.05% (1/2000)1 to 0.9% (14/1528).2 The close association with atherosclerosis was evident by the high prevalence of risk factors, male preponderance and carotid plaques. All patients (except 1) had one or more risk factors. Severe carotid stenosis (80% to 99%) was found in 2 patients (2 and 11). In contrast, Buchan et al4 found moderate carotid ...

 Introduction: Prevalence of stroke following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is % 2.1-5.2 and associated with high mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of carotid artery disease in patients undergoing CABG surgery.  Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in the years 2010-2011 on 192 patients who underwent open heart surgery (CABG) in...

We report two children who developed hemiparesis secondary to cerebral infarcts complicating Lemierre syndrome. The fi rst case is a one-year-old patient who presented a left internal jugular vein thrombosis and a left carotid compression due to retropharyngeal cellulitis. The second case is a fi ve-year-old girl who presented a left internal jugular vein and a right carotid artery thrombosis a...

Seen in long-term perspectiye the discovery of X-rays and their use as a diagnostic agent must surely rank as one of the major advances in medicine, Though of less immediate practical benefit than were either anaesthesia or antisepsis, the scientific importance was greater and even now, after more than fifty years, new techniques are still being evolved with resulting increases in knowledge. Am...
