Description
Samuel Grant Volpe and co-authors report anesthesia care for a stroke patient whose artery disease was hidden until after treatment, in work dated 2026. A thirty year old woman with migraines and a recent whiplash injury had a stroke from a blocked neck artery. Her underlying vessel disease causes narrowing and tearing, often found late.
She worsened and had an emergency procedure to pull the clot out under general anesthesia. Her neck was held steady by hand to limit stress on the vessels. Blood pressure was kept in a tight range to balance brain flow and bleeding risk. Later scans showed the vessel pattern of the hidden disease. She recovered and left on two antiplatelet drugs.
