Presentation
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]
Eyes
- 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]
Neurologic
- Involuntary Movements
Abstract Transient involuntary movement of the leg developed during diagnostic or therapeutic angiography in five patients. The movement was jerky, brisk flexion/extension of the hip and knee joints on the side contralateral to acute ischemia. [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]
Workup
The intracarotid sodium Amytal injection (Wada) test is a specialized procedure performed in the workup of patients with seizure disorders who are being considered for surgical resective therapy. [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]
X-Ray
- 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]
EEG
- 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]
Treatment
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]

Prognosis
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]
Etiology
Yield of cerebral angiography is high in diagnosing the etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
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]
The issues of intracranial stenosis are complex, both in terms of pathophysiology and adequate management. [neuroangio.org]
Prevention
Strict adherence to meticulous angiographic technique may prevent such an angiographic complication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Preventing Stroke with Cerebral Angiography This is a test that may be performed when a doctor needs more information to plan treatment after noninvasive testing. [stcharleshealthcare.org]
