Abstract
|
|
|
Background: Acute increased intracranial pressure (IICP) is a life-threatening condition that requires urgent treatment. Rapid IICP with hydrocephalus may be complicated by ischemic stroke, convulsions, loss of consciousness, brain herniation, and death. Extremely rare complications include intracranial vessel entrapment and ischemic stroke due to sudden IICP in cases with benign tumors.
Case Report: We report a case of bilateral posterior cerebral artery region infarction and complicated hydrocephalus with subependymal giant cell astrocytoma in a patient with tuberous sclerosis.
Conclusion: We postulate that the temporary IICP induced by seizure led to transient bilateral posterior cerebral artery entrapment, causing ischemic stroke without vascular occlusion.
