Abstract
In patients with cerebrovascular disease, the acetazolamide (ACZ) test is performed to evaluate the decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure through the investigation of the vasomotor reactivity (VMR). The latte r is currently assessed with ACZ using several methods. Dynamic suscep tibility contrast-enhanced gradient echo MRI techniques (DSC-MRI) migh t be an attractive tool to assess VMR. We described the course of VMR in a patient with high-grade internal carotid artery stenosis before a nd after surgery using DSC-MRI.
