Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome is a rare cause of stroke after carotid endarterectomy.
Journal of Vascular Surgery 2016 December
Neurologic events after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) require prompt diagnosis and management to avoid potentially catastrophic sequelae. This report describes a 69-year-old gentleman who underwent a left CEA for a high-grade asymptomatic carotid stenosis with concomitant contralateral carotid occlusion. He had transient and crescendo neurologic events in the first 3 postoperative weeks that culminated in right hand weakness and paresthesia, despite dual antiplatelet therapy, maximal anticoagulation, and undergoing stenting of the endarterectomy site. Neurologic events recurred despite these measures and subsequent angiography showed reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome that was successfully managed without further events. Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome is an unusual but important cause of neurologic events after CEA that requires aggressive and directed medical therapy.
