Popis: Urgent carotid artery stenting (CAS) is effective for treatment-resistant cervical internal carotid artery dissection (CICAD). We experienced a 37-year-old woman who presented with sudden onset of cervical pain, blurred vision in the right eye, and numbness in the left upper and lower extremities. Due to neurological deterioration resulting from hemodynamic impairment, urgent CAS was performed under general anesthesia. Brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography performed immediately after CAS showed increased blood flow in the right hemisphere despite no evidence of hemorrhage or ischemic lesion on brain computed tomography (CT). Systolic blood pressure was therefore strictly controlled below 110 mm Hg perioperatively. However, the day after CAS, a follow-up CT showed intracerebral hemorrhage in the right temporal lobe. Urgent CAS in patients with progressive deterioration of hemodynamic impairment caused by CICAD may induce intracerebral hemorrhage due to cerebral hyperperfusion. Care should be taken to recognize and manage this phenomenon during the perioperative period.
