ABSTRACT
Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) describes a syndrome of sudden onset focal neurological features, unilateral headache, and systemic hypertension. Recurrent CHS in the same patient has not been described to date. We describe a 55-year-old woman who first developed CHS post intracranial stenting with sudden-onset right focal seizures and associated acute focal edema on imaging. After one and half years, the patient developed symptomatic in-stent restenosis and underwent repeat angioplasty with stenting. Postprocedure, the patient had another episode of CHS in the form of acute bleed in the basal ganglia and died. A review of literature of patients for CHS postintracranial angioplasty and stenting also was performed. The present case describes a rare clinical scenario where the patient had recurrent CHS with different clinical and imaging features.
