Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome

Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome, also known as reperfusion syndrome, is a dysregulated state of cerebral blood flow following the restoration of arterial blood flow to the brain, usually following treatment of carotid artery stenosis.[1] Risk factors include hypertension, particularly high blood pressures in the first few days following revascularization and bilateral stenosis.
