Risk Factors for the Neurologic Complications Associated With Aortic Aneurysms

Neurovascular Complications of Marfan Syndrome

“…17,18 Acute aortic dissection was implicated as an etiology in only one of our cases-a patient with spinal cord infarctionbut in no case was extension of aortic dissection into a cervical artery found as a cause of hemispheric stroke. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) offers a noninvasive means of identifying carotid and sometimes vertebral artery dissection, and gadolinium-enhanced MRA of the aortic arch and proximal brachiocephalic arteries may be the optimal screening test to investigate patients with Marfan syndrome who have cerebral ischemia.…”

Spinal infarction caused by hypovolemic shock following massive bleeding from stab wounds to the neck

“…Monterio L. [8] pointed out that low blood pressure can cause SCI. Lynch et al [9] reported that a mean blood pressure under 55 mm Hg (equal to the limit of experimental auto-regulation, 50 mm Hg) is a risk of ischemia of the central nervous system.…”

Spinal Cord Infarction: Clinical and Neuroradiological Clues of a Rare Stroke Subtype

“…In children, SCI is often due to cardiovascular abnormalities and trauma [ 59 , 60 ]. In adults, aortic disease is the primary cause, often linked to conditions like atherosclerosis, aortic surgery, and thoracic aortic aneurysms [ 14 , 21 , 61 ]. A history of vascular disease increases the risk of SCI, with factors such as hypertension, smoking, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus being the main contributors [ 29 , 61 ].…”

Other triggers of SCI include adjacent spinal degenerative disease, spinal or epidural anesthesia, FCE associated with disc herniation, vertebral artery dissection, sympathectomy, systemic hypotension, cardiac embolism, coagulopathies, vasculitic disorders, surfer’s myelopathy, and decompression sickness [ 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 ].…”
