Focal cerebral ischemia distal to a cerebral aneurysm in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
M Fisher and JL Zito
Neurologic complications in patients with Hereditary Hemorrhagic
Telangiectasia (HHT) occur as a consequence of a variety of vascular
malformations. One type of intracranial malformation, saccular aneurysm,
has recently been appreciated as a potential source of ischemic
cerebrovascular disease on the basis of aneurysm to artery emboli. We
report a patient with HHT and an unruptured saccular intracranial aneurysm
presenting with ischemic vascular events.
