Neurological Conditions

This chapter considers the effects of neurological conditions in the pregnant patient. This includes epilepsy, the use of antiepileptic drugs and any contraindications and problems for the fetus, and the management of seizures both pre- and postnatally. Ischaemic stroke, intracranial and subarachnoid haemorrhage, cervical artery dissection, moyamoya, headaches, migraine, and neonatal effects of myasthenia gravis are all discussed, along with management strategies. Inherited and acquired neuropathies are also covered, along with other neurological conditions.

Objective: To report a case of young male with stroke and bilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection. Background: Cervical Artery Dissection in Stroke Study trial has provided some insight on management of patients with ICA dissection. However, there is a need to modify the management strategies as per specific clinical scenario. Design/Methods: Case report and literature review. Results: A 45-year-old male presented with 1 month old history of acute onset numbness of right half of the body with slurring of speech. Computed tomography angiography showed complete occlusion of left cervical ICA just beyond origin with presence of fusiform dilatation and spiral flap in right extracranial cervical ICA. The patient was started on antiplatelets and taken for endovascular procedure using 2-mesh-based carotid stents. Patient was discharged after 3 days on antiplatelet therapy. At 1-year follow-up, there were no fresh symptoms. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the role of successful endovascular management of carotid dissection in a young male. These clinical situations may not be fully represented in trials, and a case-based approach is required.
