Posterior circulation ischemic stroke in Korean population

European Journal of Neurology, 2006
To understand the characteristics of posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCS) in the Korean population better, we retrospectively reviewed the data from the Hallym Stroke Registry (HSR). We analyzed the demographic features, risk factors, stroke subtypes, lesion distributions and clinical outcomes of 591 consecutive patients with PCS, enrolled in ...

Atrial myxoma and posterior circulation stroke

BMJ Case Reports
While cardiac tumours are rare to begin with, most cardiac tumours are found to be secondary metastases and only a minority of cases are primary tumours. The most common primary cardiac tumours are myxomas. One of the rare causes of cardioembolic strokes is myxomas.

Ischaemic posterior circulation stroke in State of Qatar

European Journal of Neurology, 2009
Background:  Ischaemic stroke features may show regional differences. Posterior circulation stroke (PCS) is of special interest, as symptomatology, course and outcome are usually different and complex. No significant studies or registries have reported on the characteristics and outcomes of PCS in our region.Methods:  We prospectively collected data of

Hyperventilation and vomiting due to posterior circulation stroke

Neurology, 2004
Central neurogenic hyperventilation has been reported in brainstem infiltration by tumors1 but seldom with acute posterior stroke. Vomiting is frequent with such strokes2 but usually not associated with hyperventilation. We describe a patient with acute occlusive posterior stroke in whom the combination of hyperventilation and vomiting delayed ...

Ataxia in posterior circulation stroke: Clinical–MRI correlations

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2011
Ataxia is characterized clinically by four signs (gait and limb ataxia, dysarthria and nystagmus). Although ataxia has been described in posterior circulation (PC) stroke series, there are no prospective studies that have investigated a possible differential role of the cerebellum or its input/outputs in causing ataxia.Ataxia was semi-quantified ...

Posterior Circulation Infarcts Simulating Anterior Circulation Stroke

Stroke, 1996
Background and Purpose Ischemic stroke patients whose initial clinical presentation suggests an involvement of the anterior circulation (AC) are sometimes found to have a posterior circulation (PC) infarct, a fact that may generate erroneous decisions in clinical management.

Stroke of the posterior cerebral circulation.

International angiology : a journal of the International Union of Angiology, 2011
Identification of stroke etiology aids in developing secondary prevention and treatment strategies for posterior circulation stroke (PCS). Studies have identified large vessel atherosclerotic disease as the predominant etiology and others have cited cardioembolism.

When a stroke is not a stroke; posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome mimicking posterior circulation stroke.

Irish medical journal, 2007
Posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (PLS) is a potentially reversible syndrome that may mimic the clinical and radiological features of posterior circulation cerebral infarction. Three cases of PLS are presented which were erroneously diagnosed as strokes and treated in accordance with recent evidence based guidelines; none of the cases fulfilled ...

Angioplasty and Stenting for Posterior Circulation Stroke

2020
Approximately 20–40% of all ischaemic strokes occur in the posterior circulation, and about a quarter of these are caused by either vertebral or basilar artery stenosis. Despite its frequency, the optimal management for vertebrobasilar stenosis is not clear.
