1 Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome: A cause of neurologic dysfunction after carotid endarterectomy 
Martha M. Reigel, M.D., Larry H. Hollier, M.D., Thoralf M. Sundt, M.D., David G. Piepgras, M.D., Frank W. Sharbrough, M.D., Kenneth J. Cherry, M.D.  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 5, Issue 4, Pages (April 1987) DOI: / (87)90231-X Copyright © 1987 Society for Vascular Surgery and North American Chapter, International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Periodic lateralizing epileptiform discharges (PLEDs). A, EEG tracings demonstrate PLEDs in left temporal area (upper four tracings) and right temporal area (lower four tracings). Lowest tracing on the right shows crossover effect from the left hemisphere. B, EEG tracings in the same patient 5 days later show resolution of PLEDs.

3 Fig. 2 Series of head CT scans in patient with cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome. A, Nine days before carotid endarterectomy, normal scan. B, Five days after endarterectomy at time of seizure, showing diffuse patchy edema consistent with hyperperfusion. C, Eight weeks after endarterectomy, with resolution of edema.

4 Fig. 3 Cerebral angiograms in patient with cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome. A, Five days before carotid endarterectomy. B, Eight days after endarterectomy at time of seizure, showing increased cerebral vascularity ipsilateral to carotid endarterectomy.
