Hyperperfusion syndrome with hemorrhage after angioplasty for middle cerebral artery stenosis AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEURORADIOLOGY Liu, A. Y., Do, H. M., Albers, G. W., Lopez, J. R., Steinberg, G. K., Marks, M. P. 2001; 22 (8): 1597-1601

Abstract

Hyperperfusion syndrome is a well-documented complication of carotid endarterectomy, as well as internal carotid artery angioplasty and stent placement. We report a similar complication after distal intracranial (middle cerebral artery [MCA] M2 segment) angioplasty. To our knowledge, this is the first report of hyperperfusion syndrome after intracranial angioplasty of a distal MCA branch.
