Abstract
|
|
|
Perioperative stroke is one of the most fatal complications for patients as well as for doctors. Itis defined as a brain infarction or hemorrhage, occurring during or within 30 days after a surgicalprocedure. Most of the perioperative strokes have ischemic etiology while only 1% hashemorrhagic etiology, according to one study. The incidence of perioperative stroke is influencedby the complexity and type of the surgery. Generally, its incidence is very low, beingabout to 0.1-1.9%, with majority of the cases pertaining to cardiac, vascular, neurological surgeries.
Based on our research, most cases are perioperative strokes that occur after cardiacand vascular surgeries. Here we report two cases of cerebral infarction after endoscopic sinussurgery, which are very rare.
