Detection of inferolateral trunk syndrome by neuromonitoring during catheter angiography with provocative testing.
J Neurointerv Surg. 2013; (2): e8
It is not uncommon that endovascular balloon test occlusion (BTO) is performed to assess collateral blood flow and risk of injury of permanent occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA). This case is the first reported of detection and reversal of the inferolateral trunk (ILT) syndrome in an awake patient during provocative BTO; prompt recognition of the syndrome effectively prevented permanent neurologic deficits.
