Thus, patients with IE presenting with intracranial hemorrhage should undergo vascular imaging, preferably with cerebral angiography. Published by the BMJ Publishing Group Limited. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pleural Effusion

  The five most common pathologic findings were: pleural effusion, 12%; pneumonia, 8%; atelectasis/dystelecatsis, 6%; pericardial effusion, 2% and elevated diaphragm, 1%. For 48 % of these findings medical treatment was initiated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Scotoma

  Perifoveal retinal infarction by exogenous arteriolar emboli produced a permanent absolute pericentral scotoma. Strict adherence to meticulous angiographic technique may prevent such an angiographic complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Expressive Aphasia

  The patient's expressive aphasia improved to near baseline during his hospitalization and he made an excellent clinical recovery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Neglect

  Inadvertent foreign body embolization is a rarely diagnosed and neglected complication of cerebral angiography that has not been studied systematically. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Episodic Vertigo

  A 44-year-old man underwent posterior circulation cerebral angiography for the investigation of episodic vertigo. Shortly after completion of the procedure, he was noted to have symptoms of transient global amnesia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Altered Mental Status

  Absence of a focal neurologic deficit or altered mental status convey a NPV of 0.990 (95% CI 0.945-0.998) and 0.944 (95% CI 0.883-0.974), respectively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Catheter and Guidewire Selection For patients undergoing angiography for a workup of carotid stenosis, a pigtail catheter (Cook) was placed over a Bentson guidewire into the ascending aorta for arch aortography. [ajnr.org]

• Xanthochromia

  Twenty-six patients (74.3%) had cerebrospinal fluid xanthochromia. Sixteen patients (45.7%) were found to have an aneurysm on cerebral angiography. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pericardial Effusion

  The five most common pathologic findings were: pleural effusion, 12%; pneumonia, 8%; atelectasis/dystelecatsis, 6%; pericardial effusion, 2% and elevated diaphragm, 1%. For 48 % of these findings medical treatment was initiated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Atelectasis

  The five most common pathologic findings were: pleural effusion, 12%; pneumonia, 8%; atelectasis/dystelecatsis, 6%; pericardial effusion, 2% and elevated diaphragm, 1%. For 48 % of these findings medical treatment was initiated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Epileptiform Activity

  An electroencephalogram showed continuous epileptiform activity. The patient was treated with intravenous phenytoin with complete resolution of clinical symptoms and electroencephalographic epileptiform abnormalities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Spinal Cord Necrosis

  Summation of anoxia, hemorrhage, and cellular toxicity is responsible for spinal cord necrosis following arterial injection of contrast material. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pleural Effusion

  The five most common pathologic findings were: pleural effusion, 12%; pneumonia, 8%; atelectasis/dystelecatsis, 6%; pericardial effusion, 2% and elevated diaphragm, 1%. For 48 % of these findings medical treatment was initiated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Current treatments of cerebral aneurysms are imperfect, and aneurysmal hemodynamics is an important factor in treatment failure. The identification of hemodynamic factors that influence treatment success could predict outcome. [clinicaltrials.gov]

The incidence, timing, sex, age, inducing factors, risk factors, prevention measures and prognosis are discussed and reviewed in conjunction with the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

As far as the evolution is concerned, and after considering other cases previously published, we think that the prognosis of this phenomenon is usually ominous. [revistaneurocirugia.com]

Diffusion-weighted MRI may be useful in defining the pathophysiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Numerous studies have documented the incidence of stroke associated with cerebral angiography, yet the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms remain diverse. [medlink.com]
