Choroid Plexus Artery Syndrome (Syndromum Ar Teriae Plexus Vasculosi; Syndrome: Anterior Villous Artery Syndrome)

Choroid plexus artery syndrome is a combination of symptoms that occur in various diseases. The main manifestation of the syndrome is hemiplegia (paralysis of the arms and legs on one side of the body) with accompanying neurological symptoms. Although choroid plexus artery syndrome is uncommon, it can be a serious condition that requires careful investigation and treatment. In this article we will look at the main causes of the formation of choroid artery syndrome and its symptoms, as well as methods for diagnosing and treating this disease.

The causes of choroid plexus artery syndrome may vary. Some are associated with circulatory problems such as aneurysm, thrombosis or blockage of blood vessels. Other reasons

Choroid Plexus Artery Syndrome (Syndromum Ar Teriae Plexus Vasculosi; Syndrome: Anterior Villous Artery Syndrome)

Choroid plexus artery syndrome, also known as anterior villous artery syndrome, is a rare disorder characterized by a combination of hemiplegia with hemianesthesia and vasomotor disturbances in the paralyzed limbs, sometimes with hemianopsia. This syndrome is caused by damage to the posterior two thirds of the posterior limb of the internal capsule, sometimes its lenticular part, partially the caudate nucleus and the medial part of the globus pallidus due to impaired circulation in the anterior villous artery.

The anterior villous artery is a branch of the internal carotid artery, which is responsible for supplying blood to various structures of the brain. When the circulation in the anterior villous artery is disrupted, it can lead to ischemic damage to the corresponding areas of the brain, causing the symptoms of choroid plexus artery syndrome.

The main clinical manifestations of this syndrome are hemiplegia (paralysis of one half of the body) and hemianesthesia (loss of sensation in half of the body) on the opposite side of the lesion. In addition, patients may suffer from vasomotor disturbances, such as changes in vascular tone, changes in sweating, and changes in thermoregulation in the affected extremities. In some cases, hemianopsia may occur, that is, partial loss of vision in half the visual field.

The diagnosis of choroid plexus artery syndrome is based on the clinical picture, neurological examination and the result of additional instrumental studies, such as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRT) of the brain. These methods allow you to visualize the condition of blood vessels and identify possible changes in brain structures.

Treatment of choroid plexus artery syndrome is aimed at increasing blood circulation and restoring the functions of the affected areas of the brain. It includes drug therapy using drugs that help improve cerebral circulation and restore damaged neurons. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to restore normal circulation to the affected artery or bypass the blood flow.

The prognosis of patients with choroid plexus artery syndrome depends on the degree of brain damage and the effectiveness of treatment. In some cases, partial restoration of functions and improvement of the patient's condition are possible. However, in more severe cases of complications, long-term impairment of motor and sensory functions may occur, which can significantly limit the quality of life.

In conclusion, choroid plexus artery syndrome (anterior villous artery syndrome) is a rare disorder characterized by a combination of hemiplegia, hemianesthesia, and vasomotor disturbances in the paralyzed limbs. Damage to the anterior villous artery and associated brain structures leads to the development of symptoms of this syndrome. Early detection and adequate treatment play an important role in the prognosis and improvement of the patient's condition.
