Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove plaque from carotid arteries.
  • Hyperperfusion syndrome can occur post-surgery, leading to complications like seizures.

Observation:

  • This case highlights a patient presenting with post-carotid endarterectomy seizures.
  • The seizure was attributed to hyperperfusion syndrome.

Findings:

  • Early identification of patients at high risk for hyperperfusion syndrome is essential.
  • Delayed hospital discharge may be necessary for these high-risk patients.

Implications:

  • Implementing targeted monitoring and management strategies can prevent adverse outcomes.
  • This case underscores the importance of vigilant post-operative care in carotid endarterectomy patients.
