Tactile sensation was intact, and motor function was 5/5 throughout with no cerebral ataxia present. [hindawi.com]
Although at mid-term most of these patients do not present new ischemic cerebral events while under antiplatelet treatment, a small subgroup (8.1%) present early recurrence of cerebral ischemia. [revespcardiol.org]
In the present study, the effects of atheromatous plaque material upon blood coagulation and platelet aggregation were studied in detail. [annals.org]

Irritability
There are several reasons why patients consult an expert at Diva Clinic for sebaceous cysts removal: aesthetic, practical (when located in the place of constant irritation), when they notice a sudden growth, physical injury of the atheroma and infection [divaclinic.com]

Normal Chest X-Ray
TEE was able to find aortic arch atheromatous disease in 55% of patients with a normal chest X-ray, and 91% of those who had heavily calcified aortic knobs [13]. [hindawi.com]
Other Pathologies
-
Gliosis
CT head without contrast revealed no acute intracranial hemorrhage with encephalomalacia and gliosis in the right frontal and occipital lobes, in keeping with prior infarctions. [hindawi.com]
Hypertrophy

Ventricular Hypertrophy
Lastly, in one patient with recurrent cerebral infarction, substantial concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, mild ejection fraction depression and sinus rhythm, TEE showed spontaneous echo contrast in a dilated left atrium with thrombosis of the auricular [revespcardiol.org]
Treatment
Treatment: surgical removal usually under local anesthesia sedation. Diagnosis:history, signs, histopathology. Prognosis: excellent with surgical removal; guarded with simple drainage. Pathogenesis Etiology Unknown. [vetstream.com]
Atheroma: treatment For the treatment of atheroma a dermatologist is usually the right contact person. If the atheroma is small, does not grow further or does not bother the affected person, sometimes no treatment is necessary. [imedicalsociety.org]
But as a matter of fact, the pathology required treatment as any neoplasm. The main risks are connected with contamination of contents resulting in purulence accumulation in the cavity, abscess develops. [onclinic.ua]
This subgroup, which was the subject of the present study, received antiplatelet treatment during 1 year of follow-up. [revespcardiol.org]
Antithrombotic agents and statins remain the mainstay of treatment, while the role and benefit of surgical intervention are not well established and therefore currently not recommended. [hindawi.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis: excellent with surgical removal; guarded with simple drainage. Pathogenesis Etiology Unknown. Pathophysiology Originally thought to be sebaceous cysts but this diagnosis is now refuted by histology of cyst wall and contents. [vetstream.com]
Atheroma: course of disease and prognosis How fast an atheroma grows varies from case to case. Some grow even only up to a certain size and then stagnate. [imedicalsociety.org]

Etiology
In a subgroup of patients with cerebral infarction, noninvasive diagnostic explorations fail to disclose the etiology. [revespcardiol.org]
German pathologists express themselves rather guardedly as to its etiology, aside from age and strain, while English writers, notably Bramwell, in his recent admirable work on diseases of the heart and aorta, look upon syphilis, gout, rheumatism, chronic [jamanetwork.com]
Pathogenesis Etiology Unknown. Pathophysiology Originally thought to be sebaceous cysts but this diagnosis is now refuted by histology of cyst wall and contents. Renamed epidermal inclusion cysts. Developmental. [vetstream.com]
The multi-etiological origin of atherosclerosis involves a biochemical phenomenon that creates pathological arterial calcifications ( 3 ). [hrcak.srce.hr]
Epidemiology
[citation needed] From human clinical trials, it has become increasingly evident that a more effective focus of treatment is slowing, stopping and even partially reversing the atheroma growth process.[17] There are several prospective epidemiologic studies [en.wikipedia.org]
Pathophysiology

Prevention
A membrane, capsule, then gets formed around the accumulated sebum, containing it, and preventing it from futher expanson. [orshospital.rs]
Only after the inflammation has subsided, the sebaceous cyst can be removed. can sebaceous cysts be prevented? Unfortunately, there is no proven way to prevent sebaceous cysts from forming. [divaclinic.com]
Also, fruit and vegetables, as well as being low in fat, also contain antioxidants and vitamins which may help to prevent atheroma from building up. [patient.info]
The AHA/ASA recommends against routine surgical endarterectomy of aortic arch plaque for the purposes of secondary stroke prevention [22]. [hindawi.com]
