“…14) Thirteen patients could not be treated surgically due to symptom absence, advanced age, wishes or rejection of the operation, and the high risk involved in the surgery. These patients were followed up with lifestyle modification 5) and strict systemic blood pressure control (below 140/90 mmHg) in the outpatient department, and the aneurysm was monitored by magnetic resonance (MR) angiography or computed tomography (CT) angiography every 6 months.…”

The long-term outcome of 39 patients with unruptured giant aneurysm (À2.5 cm) treated during the last 12 years was retrospectively reviewed. The 7 male and 32 female patients, aged 32 to 81 years, presented with symptoms related to compression of the surrounding structures by the aneurysm in 28 cases, cerebral infarction in one, and asymptomatic in 10. The locations were the internal carotid artery (ICA) in 27 cases, middle cerebral artery in three, anterior cerebral artery in one, and basilar artery in eight. Therapeutic modalities were direct clipping in 11 patients, ICA occlusion combined with extracranialintracranial bypass in 15, and conservative treatment in 13. The follow-up period ranged from 16 to 128 months (mean 54.0 months). The mortality was 9% (1/11), 0% (0/15), and 31% (4/13), and morbidity was 18% (2/11), 20% (3/15), and 8% (1/13), respectively. Surgery reduced the mortality (from 31% to 4%) but increased the morbidity (from 8% to 19%) as compared with conservatively treated patients (p º 0.05). Giant intracranial aneurysm has a poor prognosis if left untreated, but these lesions are difficult to treat with the present management options.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo verificar na literatura a existência de protocolos de reabilitação fisioterápica para pacientes com sequelas de acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico (AVCi) e a elaboração de uma sugestão de tratamento fisioterápico para estes pacientes, visando a melhora nas atividades de vida diária (AVD´s). A metodologia utilizada foi revisão bibliográfica através de artigos científicos indexados nas seguintes bases de dados: Lilac’s, Scielo, Medline, Pubmed, bem como livros e monografias. O tema foi escolhido devido ser o AVCi responsável por 80% dos casos, e o AVC hemorrágico pelos outros 20% das incidências. Cerca de 40% dos pacientes com AVC portarão sequelas permanentes, dificultando as AVD´s, necessitando de cuidados especiais, e acompanhamento por equipe multidisciplinar. Reintegrar o paciente no ambiente social é um desafio que envolve todas as pessoas inseridas no processo. Após um curto período de flacidez, o paciente entra no estado de espasticidade muscular, que é uma das severas limitações que ele vai apresentar. A adesão do paciente e cuidadores, além da precocidade do tratamento são fundamentais para a melhora do paciente.
