Bilateral Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion Due To Homocystinuria: Case Report

The damage mechanism of homocystinuria which occurs due to cystationine β-synthase deficiency, is not known. However it is proposed that transmetilation disorders and NMDA mediated excitotoxicity cause endothelial damage thereby leading to vascular thrombosis and epileptic seizures. In this case rep...
