Large fat embolus is a rare but potential reversible cause of ischaemic stroke.
We describe the neurosurgical management of a complete right internal carotid artery occlusion due to a large fat embolus, caused by a mitral valve replacement.
Knowledge of acute cerebral ischaemia due to large fat embolism and its hallmark 'hypodense artery' is mandatory. Extracranial to intracranial bypass is a feasible rescue treatment after failure of endovascular embolectomy.
大脂肪栓子是缺血性卒中一种罕见但可能可逆的病因。
我们描述了一例因二尖瓣置换术导致大脂肪栓子引起的右侧颈内动脉完全闭塞的神经外科治疗。
了解大脂肪栓塞所致急性脑缺血及其特征性“低密度动脉”至关重要。血管内取栓失败后,颅外至颅内搭桥是一种可行的挽救治疗方法。
