Abstract:
We describe the case of an 82-year-old man with a fixed neurological deficit of 30 h duration. A left hemispheric perfusion deficit was found on perfusion/diffusion imaging studies in conjunction with an ipsilateral carotid stenosis documented by cerebral angiography. Carotid angioplasty with stent placement was performed and resulted in dramatic clinical improvement. Carotid stenosis can cause acute hemodynamic hypoperfusion with a symptomatic reversible clinical deficit.
