Improved cognition after external carotid endarterectomy.

Recent clinical results support the conclusion that internal carotid endarterectomy not only serves as a prophylactic measure against catastrophic stroke, but may improve cognitive functioning as well. Improvement in cognitive testing after internal carotid endarterectomy has been amply substantiated in recent literature. 3, 4, 5, 8, This report illustrates that improvement in cerebral blood flow by any means is equally effective in improving cerebral function.

Reversal of aphasia with superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery anastomosis.

Two patients with aphasia which markedly regressed following superficial temporal to middle cerebral artery anastomoses are reported. Added to the armamentarium of stroke therapy for the amelioration of focal ischemic disease, modern microvascular techniques allow the establishment of collaterals to recipient vessels of less than 1 mm in diameter. A neurological deficit which is supposed to be permanent is usually considered a contraindication to these procedures. This report details two cases in which aphasia and motor weakness markedly improved following a superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery anastomosis.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. A case report with known cerebral involvement and cardiac catheterization data.

Numerous bleeding episodes, neurological signs and symptoms, and pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are well documented in reports of families with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. It is always assumed that these are due to the arteriovenous malformations. We are here reporting a case with positive cerebral angiographic findings of large arteriovenous communications, as well as catheterization data revealing pulmonary abnormalities secondary to the cerebral arteriovenous fistula, but no abnormalities within the pulmonary vasculature itself.
