Summary
Intracerebral steal phenomenon (ISP) after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) can cause vasogenic edema and cerebral blood flow (CBF) decline. This rare complication, presenting as hemiparesis, was successfully treated, resolving edema and neurological deficits.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Vascular Surgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Intracerebral steal phenomenon (ISP) is a rare complication post-carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
- Factors contributing to ISP remain largely unknown.
- This report details a unique case of ISP with vasogenic edema and cerebral blood flow (CBF) decline.
