The authors report a patient with postpartum intracerebral hemorrhage associated with cerebral vasculitis. Cerebral circulation was assessed with transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography, magnetic resonance angiography, and conventional cerebral angiography. Initial TCD studies demonstrated bilateral patchy increased cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) in the anterior circulation with complete normalization during remission. This case report provides evidence that cerebral vasculitis leads to relevant CBFV changes and that the TCD technique may assist in diagnosis and follow-up of these patients.
作者报告了一名患有与脑血管炎相关的产后脑出血患者。采用经颅多普勒(TCD)超声、磁共振血管造影和传统脑血管造影对脑循环进行了评估。最初的TCD研究显示前循环中双侧片状脑血流速度(CBFV)增加,缓解期完全恢复正常。本病例报告提供了证据,证明脑血管炎会导致相关的CBFV变化,且TCD技术可能有助于这些患者的诊断和随访。
