Transient neurological deficits mimicking left middle cerebral artery infarct after carotid artery stenting without associated imaging findings: A case report
Abstract:Various complications have been reported after carotid artery stenting. Ischemic lesions and hyperperfusion syndrome are well-known complications, and new cerebral microembolic lesions detected via diffusion-weighted imaging are observed in almost all patients. We describe a case who developed transient neurological deficits immediately after stenting without additional imaging findings. A 64-year-old male underwent carotid artery stenting complicated by transient neurological deficits mimicking a left middle … Show more
