- Title
Suicide in a patient with symptomatic carotid occlusion.
- Authors
Lovett, J. K.; Rothwell, P. M.
- Abstract
The article offers information about a case on depression and risk of suicide with symptomatic carotid occlusion. It presents a case of a man aged 53 who was referred to a neurology with episodes of transient loss of vision in the left eye and episodes of clumsiness and weakness in his right arm. It explains that psychological disturbance is partly related to anxiety associated with symptoms and the worry about the risk of stroke, but maybe directly related to chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.
