  • Title: Extracranial arterial aneurysms: a cause of crescendo transient ischaemic attacks.
    Author: Paterson HM, Holdsworth RJ.
    Journal: Int J Clin Pract; 2000 Dec; 54(10):675-6. PubMed ID: 11221282.
    Abstract:
    Crescendo transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs) should be regarded as a medical emergency. Patients require hospitalisation with urgent assessment and symptom control with anticoagulant therapy. We report on three patients, all of whom had atherosclerotic aneurysmal disease of the extracranial arterial circulation who presented with crescendo TIAs. The possibility of extracranial aneurysmal disease should always be considered and excluded.
