Transient ischemic attack due to dynamic evolution of carotid artery web.

Carotid artery web (CaW) is a rare focal fibromuscular dysplasia, which is an underappreciated risk factor for transient ischemic attack. This case illustrates the dynamic evolution of secondary thrombus and plaque in CaW, and the importance of carotid doppler ultrasound in early detection and follow-up.

Effect of coagulation function on cerebral microbleeds in intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective: Our study aimed to confirm whether coagulation function of patients presenting with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) was associated with onset of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs).

Methods: A total of 174 patients with basal ganglia ICH were divided into CMBs and non-CMBs groups. Indicators of coagulation function and other clinical data that included fibrinogen (FBI), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and the international normalized ratio (INR) were compared by univariate and multivariate analysis between the two groups.
