Crossed cerebellar diaschisis and loss of consciousness during temporary balloon occlusion of the internal carotid artery.
We encountered a case of crossed cerebellar diaschisis during temporary balloon occlusion of the internal carotid artery in a 59-year-old woman. The rapidity of the diaschisis was unusual and SPECT scanning was adequate to show the early defect.
