Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Ten patients with angiographically verified occlusion of the basilar or vertebral artery have been followed for an average of 2.75 years. None has developed further ischemia after the initial stroke, and 4 patients survived without any clinical deficit. In occlusive disease of the posterior circulation, the critical period for deficit acquisition is at the time of occlusion. Extent of the deficit depends on the rapidity of development of adequate collateral circulation, and the presence of distal embolization at the time of occlusion. Some patients survive basilar occlusion without permanent deficit. |
