Article Synopsis
  • - Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a serious complication that can occur after carotid artery stenting (CAS), primarily in normotensive patients, and is linked to factors like recent carotid stenosis and hemodynamic instability.
  • - A systematic literature review revealed a CHS prevalence of 1.2% after CAS and highlighted that while some risk factors are identified, isolated hypotension has not been conclusively linked to CHS development.
  • - Although mortality rates from intracranial hemorrhage post-CAS can be high, cases of CHS generally have a better prognosis, suggesting that a more nuanced understanding and further research are necessary for effective diagnosis and management.

In this study, we describe the neuropathological findings in 22 patients with anti-IgLON5 disease from 9 different European centers.
