Abstract

High-grade basilar artery stenosis was detected in a 31-year-old man that presented with right hemiparesis and dysarthria. The exact etiology of the stenosis could not be determined. The patient was treated medically and remained asymptomatic during a 6-months follow-up period, and follow-up angiograms showed a dramatic improvement in the high-grade stenosis. This report aimed to draw attention to the importance of follow-up for high-grade basilar artery stenoses with medical therapy prior to using endovascular app- roaches, especially in young patients with a stable clinical course and unknown etiology.

Özet

Sağ hemiparezi ve dizartri ile merkezimize başvuran 31 yaşında bir erkek hastada yapılan tetkikler sonucunda yüksek dereceli baziler ar- ter stenozu saptanmıştır. Yapılan etyolojik araştırmalarda stenozun kesin nedeni bulunamamıştır. Medikal tedavi ile izlenmesi kararlaştı- rılan hastanın takip eden dönemde tekrarlayan bir şikayeti olmamıştır. Altı ay sonra kontrol amacıyla yapılan anjiyografide stenozda dra- matik bir düzelme gözlenmiştir. Bu olgu, özellikle etyolojik nedeni tam aydınlatılamayan, klinik tablosu stabil olan ve yaşı genç olan bazi- ler arter stenozu olgularında, endovasküler tedavi yöntemlerine başvurmadan önce medikal tedavi ile izlemin önemini vurgulamaktadır.
