Intracerebral steal phenomenon induced focal reversible vasogenic edema and decrease in cerebral blood flow after carotid endarterectomy

摘要

Intracerebral steal phenomenon (ISP) is a rare complication following surgical treatment of carotid stenosis. However, the factors responsible remain unknown. We described the rear case of the ISP who had vasogenic edema and cerebral blood flow (CBF) decline and presented with hemiparesis after carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
