Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the prevalence and associated factors of carotid atherosclerosis in stroke patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), finding that 34.6% of patients had this condition.
- Among 2,955 patients analyzed, 6.9% had carotid stenosis of 50% or more, and 5.7% experienced carotid occlusion, with age and previous vascular conditions being significant risk factors.
- The research concluded that atherosclerosis in multiple arterial beds is a strong predictor of significant carotid stenosis, indicating a high level of cardiovascular risk in these patients.
Introduction: Despite the extremely favourable prognosis of patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), death occurs in 10-15% of patients. In severe cases of malignant CVT with supratentorial haemorrhagic lesions, cerebral oedema and brain herniation, decompressive surgery may be the only life-saving treatment.
Patient And Methods: We present the case of a puerperal young woman with progressive headache, seizures and decreased alertness.
