We present the case of a female patient who was studied with dynamic contrast-enhanced CT perfusion before and after carotid revascularization. Before treatment, there was decreased perfusion in the ipsilateral insula, which was shown to be resolved on the scan obtained 1 day after treatment, indicating the technical success of the revascularization. In the ipsilateral basal ganglia, there was delayed contrast agent clearance from the tissue, which was attributed to vasodilation; after revascularization, there remained a subtle stenotic effect. The observed changes in the dynamic CT perfusion study suggest that this technique may be a useful tool in the evaluation of patients with asymmetrical cerebral blood flow.
我们报告了一例女性患者的病例,该患者在颈动脉血运重建前后接受了动态对比增强CT灌注检查。治疗前,同侧脑岛灌注减少,而在治疗后1天获得的扫描显示灌注已恢复,表明血运重建技术成功。在同侧基底节区,造影剂从组织中清除延迟,这归因于血管扩张;血运重建后,仍存在轻微的狭窄效应。动态CT灌注研究中观察到的变化表明,该技术可能是评估脑血流不对称患者的有用工具。
