Abstract:
Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid endarterectomy is rare. Unilateral headache, confusion, seizures or focal neurological signs may occur and intracranial haemorrhage may be a terminal event. We report a case of hyperperfusion accompanied by transient hemiparesis. The changes in cerebral perfusion were documented using transcranial Doppler sonography which helped to make the diagnosis.
