Overview
The clinical features are cerebral ischemia (strokes), recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), sensorimotor paralysis (numbness and paralysis of the extremities), convulsions and/or migraine-like headaches. After an ischemic stroke, a hemorrhagic reperfusion stroke may occur. A hemorrhagic stroke may also stem from rupture of the weak neovascular vessel walls.
