Bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion is rare. This case highlights successful thrombolysis and dual antiplatelet therapy improving stroke symptoms in a smoker.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Vascular Neurology
- Neuroimaging
Background:
- Bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion is an uncommon cerebrovascular condition.
- Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial for patient outcomes.
Observation:
- A 54-year-old female smoker presented with acute neurological deficits.
- Computed tomography angiography revealed bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion with compensatory vertebrobasilar collateral flow.
- Cerebral perfusion imaging demonstrated significant left-sided hypoperfusion.
Findings:
- The patient received thrombolysis and dual antiplatelet therapy.
- Significant improvement in motor function and speech was observed post-treatment.
Implications:
- This case underscores the importance of considering rare vascular events in acute stroke presentations.
- Effective management strategies can lead to favorable neurological recovery.
- Further research into optimal anticoagulation and reperfusion techniques for this condition is warranted.
