Unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery.
Unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is an extremely rare anomaly. Diagnosis is often incidental in a radiological examination. Recognition of this anomaly has important clinical implications because other life-threatening conditions can be associated and it must be taken into account when planning carotid surgery. We report a case of 64-year-old man with agenesis of the ICA.
متن کاملCarotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...
متن کاملMultiple aneurysms associated with agenesis of internal carotid artery.
Agenesis of internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare anomaly. The contralateral dominant artery has a high incidence of aneurysms. A 50-year-old male patient had aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage due to rupture of a paraclinoid aneurysm. He also had an anterior communicating artery (Acom) aneurysm and the contralateral ICA was absent. To the best of the authors knowledge, the combination of age...
متن کاملRight Aortic Arch Associated with Left Internal Carotid Artery Agenesis
We report the rare case of a right aortic arch associated with agenesis of the left internal carotid artery. A 75-year-old woman with a medical history of tetralogy of Fallot presented with dizziness. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed agenesis of the left internal carotid artery in addition to a previously diagnosed right aortic arch. The left common carotid artery was present, but it was...
متن کاملPatients With Unilateral Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion
Background and Purpose: Ischemic episodes distal to an internal carotid artery occlusion are common. We undertook this study to look for evidence of transhemispheric passage of embolic material in this patient category as a mechanism for embolic events. Methods: Seven symptomatic patients with unilateral internal carotid artery occlusion and contralateral stenosis were examined by transcranial ...
