Article Synopsis
- * A case study is presented involving a 62-year-old man with immune-mediated TTP (iTTP) that developed over three years, including symptoms like low platelet count, recurrent strokes, and valve clots.
- * The report suggests a potential link between the use of adalimumab, a TNFα inhibitor, and the onset of iTTP, while also highlighting the need to recognize atypical manifestations of the disease due to its complex history and comorbid health issues in the patient.
Background: Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the surgical treatment of choice for hemifacial spasm (HFS). During MVD, monitoring of the abnormal lateral spread response (LSR), an evoked response to facial nerve stimulation, has been traditionally used to monitor adequacy of cranial nerve (CN) VII decompression.
Objective: To assess the utility of LSR monitoring in predicting spasm-free status after MVD postoperatively.
Background: Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is being recognized as an effective alternative for carotid endarterectomy (CEA). CAS is especially preferred over CEA in high-risk surgical patients with severe carotid stenosis. However, CAS carries an increased risk of stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA).
