ABSTRACT

Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for stroke. However, treating hypertension in the acute phase may cause further neurological deterioration. We present a case of an 81-year-old woman, admitted after multiple infarcts in the posterior circulation. While fully anticoagulated, her neurological deficits worsened, coinciding with normalization of her blood pressure levels. Magnetic resonance angiography documented bilateral vertebral artery stenoses. Induced hypertension was followed by rapid clinical improvement. In this first report of induced hypertension in the Brazilian literature, we illustrate the potential benefit of this therapeutic strategy in patients with documented hemodynamic mechanism of clinical deterioration.

ABSTRACT

A hipertensãoáarterial éáum dos principais fatores de risco para acidentes vasculares encefálicos. No entanto, o tratamento agressivo da hipertensãoána fase aguda pode estar associada a pior evolução clínica. Apresentamos o caso de uma paciente de 81 anos, admitida após múltiplos infartos encefálicos em circulação posterior. Em vigência de anticoagulação plena, a paciente apresentou deterioração neurológica coincidindo com normalização dos níveis pressóricos. Uma angiorressonância documentou uma estenose vertebral bilateral. Após indução de hipertensãoácom dopamina, a paciente apresentou rápida melhora dos déficits. Nesse primeiro relato de hipertensãoáinduzida na literatura brasileira, ilustramos o potencial benefício dessa estratégia terapêutica em pacientes com documentado mecanismo hemodinâ­mico de piora clínica
