Hyperperfusion syndrome with hemorrhage after angioplasty for middle cerebral artery stenosis.
AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2001; (8): 1597-601
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.
