2019
Abstract
Cerebrovascular events are among the most common causes of invalidity or death. The aim of treament in acute cerebral ischemia is to restore the blood flow before irreversible necrosis of brain tissue and persistent neurologic deficit occur.
Pharmacological, endovascular and surgical methods are employed in the treatment of these patients. We present a case report of a 56-year-old woman with acute cerebral ischemia caused by tandem occlusion of the left common carotid artery and the M1 segment of middle cerebral artery.
