Venous congestive encephalopathy is a rare complication of central venous occlusion in hemodialysis patients with upper extremity dialysis created shunts. We describe the clinical presentation and endovascular management of an end-stage renal disease patient with a left upper extremity arteriovenous graft who developed intracranial venous hypertension, left-sided subdural and subarachnoid intracranial hemorrhage, and left-sided cerebral infarcts related to a left brachiocephalic vein occlusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
