[Delayed neuropsychological sequelae after carbon monoxide poisoning].

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a very common intoxication worldwide. Its clinical manifestations vary from symptoms like mild headache and dizziness to more serious issues including death. Less well known are symptoms that occur with a delay of 2-40 days, such as movement disorders, cognitive impairment or affective disorders.

The hyperdense posterior cerebral artery sign: a computed tomography marker of acute ischemia in the posterior cerebral artery territory.

Background And Purpose: In the anterior circulation, the hyperdense middle cerebral artery (MCA) sign is a well-established marker for early ischemia. Similarly, the hyperdense basilar artery sign or the MCA "dot" sign may be a diagnostic clue for basilar artery or distal MCA branch thrombosis. The purpose of this study was to define the hyperdense posterior cerebral artery (PCA) sign and determine its incidence, diagnostic value, and reliability as a marker for ischemia in the territory of the PCA.
