In addition it also helps in defining the underlying pathophysiology and assessing the response to various treatments.Īims: Our study's aim is to evaluate the yield of TCD in detecting MES, predictors for positive MES and recurrence of stroke. Micro embolic signals (MES) are reported to be an independent risk factor for stroke.

Introduction: Micro embolic signal (MES) detection is one of the key applications of TCD in stroke.

The cranial CT showed complete resolution (Fig. 3).įig. 3 Control cranial CT showed full resolution. The neurological examination of the patient 48 hours after the incident was normal. The patient was admitted to the intensive care and put on supportive and anti-edema therapy. Cranial CT revealed diffusely increased density in the cisternal spaces, suggesting subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with extravasation of the contrast agent used (Fig. 2). The NM showed that the patient was somnolent, his cooperation was restricted, spatial and temporal orientation was reduced, speech was slightly dysartrhic, and bilateral Babinski was positive. However, some cases were reported to present as subarachnoid hemorrhage in the cranial computerized tomography due to the extravasation of the contrast agent used during angiography by disrupting the blood brain barrier.Ĭase: Our case who underwent carotid angiography and stent implantation for carotid stenosis was seen to show impairment in his general condition and consciousness about 2 hours after the procedure (Fig. 1). Hemorrhagic complications may include intracerebral hemorrhages, like subarachnoid hemorrhage. These damages may present in an embolic, hemodynamic and hemorrhagic nature.

Introduction: Various types of brain damage may occur during angiographic procedures. Peace, an amazing thing.WSC-1515 Acute Neuroimaging: Contrast agent neurotoxicity mimicking subarachnoid hemorrhage during carotid angiography: Case reportĪ N Alagoz 1, N Can Ucaroglu 1, A Boluk 1ġ Neurology, Sakarya University Medicine Faculty Researh and Education Hospital, Sakarya, Turkey The most memorable is seeing all cultures together as one with utmost respect for each other, sharing, eating, learning and just being, and emotions welling inside at the beauty of it all. We also bought their organic whole wheat cous cous, we thought that every time we made it, it would bring back beautiful memories. The flavors in the tajine amazing, blends of spices like curry, coriander and sweetness from cooked prunes, the eggplant grilled to perfection and tossed with olive oil, oregano, and roasted tomatoes vibrant red purred to a velvety smooth consistency. Our choice was the beef tajine and a grilled eggplant salad. We decided to stop and eat there so to rest our tired legs and also to savor some of their specialties. At the end of the tour, a little grocery store with some of their products and a restaurant. Beautiful pictures on the walls, pomegranates hanging from the ceiling, boards that explained their traditional food and customs.

Outside, a line up and a picture of their King, inside a miniature almond tree and mandarin tree. On our first day, one of the pavilions we visited was Morocco, a beautiful mediterranean Country, whose food we like a lot. It was so cool! We did a virtual trip around the world in just 3 days! The weather was beautiful, sunny and hot, we walked a lot trying to see as much as we could, but some of the line ups, for some of the pavilions, were just too long and prohibiting. each Country, we visited, they put a stamp on it. On our first day, map in our hands, we bought a Passport and each Pavilion, i.e. It was incredible, we had three entire days to visit as many Pavilions as we could, get to know about their culture, tradition and most of all, food. It's still vividly present in my mind our beautiful experience at the Expo in Milan, last summer.
