2013, Progress in Cardiovascular DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Isolated CSH is a common finding in older individuals particularly males,24,25 but CSS is uncommon and very exceptional in subjects under 40 years of age.23 Complications related to CSM are most often neurological, but very rare; 21 instances among 7319 patients.23,26,27 However, the neurologic risk contraindicates CSM in patients with previous transient ischemic attack or stroke within the past 3 months, or with carotid bruits, unless carotid Doppler studies have excluded significant stenosis.26
