On the basis of our experience and the available literature, we submit that aggressive screening for BCI based on injury patterns is warranted. However, several important clinical issues remain unresolved. The precise injury patterns and relative cerebrovascular risks remain to be defined. Furthermore, the optimal diagnostic screening test remains to be identified, with consideration of the relative risk-benefit profile. Finally, we must determine the best methods for the treatment of BCI. Although the definitive study has yet to be completed, the use of heparin was associated with a trend toward improved outcomes in symptomatic patients. In addition, no asymptomatic patient experienced the development of new neurologic deficits during heparin therapy. Therefore we believe that the early institution of heparin therapy is indicated. The role of endovascular stenting, however, remains unclear.
