...Sang Hee Ha; Bum Joon Kim; Jae-Chan Ryu; Jae-Han Bae; Jong S. Kim Background: Early neurological deterioration (END) occurs in patients with pontine infarction that is adversely associated with a long-term functional outcome. As basilar artery (BA) tortuosity may alter hemodynamics, we investigated...

...Sung-Ho Ahn; Bum-Joon Kim; Yeon-Jung Kim; Dong-Wha Kang; Sun U. Kwon; Jong S. Kim Background: Clinical syndromes secondary to infarcts in the distal basilar artery (BA) area have been described as “top of the basilar” (TOB) syndrome. However, in the era of advanced imaging technology, it has been...

...Andreas Fellgiebel; Isabel Keller; Peter Martus; Stefan Ropele; Igor Yakushev; Tobias Böttcher; Franz Fazekas; Arndt Rolfs Background: Fabry disease (FD) is a rare hereditary lysosomal storage disease that has been highlighted as a possible etiology of stroke at a young age. Enlarged basilar artery...

... carina of bifurcations, explains the higher rupture rate of basilar top aneurysms, aneurysms at the top of the carotid artery should have similar rupture rates given their geometrical similarities. Aim: Our purpose was to compare rupture risks of carotid and basilar artery bifurcation aneurysms. Methods...

...Hyung-Min Kwon; Ji-hoon Kim; Jae-Sung Lim; Jong-Ho Park; Sang-Hyung Lee; Yong-Seok Lee Background: Basilar artery (BA) dolichoectasia (dilatative arteriopathy) (BAD) causes arterial elongation and enlargement with subsequent hemodynamic changes leading to thrombosis, microembolization and brainstem...

...H.Y. Kim; C.S. Chung; S.Y. Moon; K.H. Lee; S.H. Han Background: In vertebrobasilar ischemic stroke, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) occasionally fails to visualize the basilar artery, but in these patients, little attention has been given to establishing correlations between the clinical...

... or snare systems [ 30 ], seem more promising for endovascular stroke treatment in the near future. Basilar artery Vertebral artery Fibrinolysis Thrombolytic therapy Angioplasty Ischemic stroke Stroke due to angiographically documented basilar artery (BA) occlusion is a dramatic clinical...

...Karl-Olof Lövblad; Christoph Ozdoba; Luca Remonda; Gerhard Schroth The purpose of this study was to determine the value of the so-called dense basilar artery sign in computed tomography as a sign of its occlusion. One hundred and eleven patients (105 control patients; 6 patients with basilar artery...

...Rainer Salbeck; Otto Busse; Wolf-Dieter Reinbold The authors describe the MRI findings in a case of megadolicho-basilar artery, seen over a period of 3 years. The value of MRI in monitoring the course of the megadolicho-basilar artery is discussed. © 1993 S. Karger AG, Basel 1993 Copyright...

... of the basilar artery was discovered which invaginated the midbrain. Although inferior division oculomotor nerve palsy is rare and has not been considered to be caused by aneurysms, it should not always be considered benign, especially if there is progression or association with other neurologic signs. This case...
