Development of internal carotid artery aneurysm after successful conservative treatment of prolactinoma

Internal carotid artery aneurysm visualized during successful endovascular treatment of carotid embolism.

We herein present a case of an internal carotid artery embolism associated with a hidden internal carotid artery aneurysm. The aneurysm was visualized during successful endovascular treatment of the carotid embolism. In retrospect, the aneurysm was at risk of rupture during the procedure. In the endovascular treatment of cerebral embolism, the possibility that aneurysms are hidden by emboli mus...

[Extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm].

INTRODUCTION Extracranial aneurysm of the internal carotid artery is an exceptional finding. CASE REPORT An 89-year-old woman consulted for a peritonsillar mass. Physical examination revealed a parapharyngeal pulsatile mass in the oropharynx. Computed tomography (CT) provided the diagnosis of extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm. Endovascular or surgical treatment were declined. Anti...

Endovascular Treatment of the Distal Internal Carotid Artery Large Aneurysm

OBJECTIVE According to the development of endovascular technique and devices, larger aneurysms on the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) can be treated using a less invasive method. The authors report on clinical and angiographic outcomes of these aneurysms treated using an endovascular technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data on 21 patients with large aneurysms at distal ICA treated by endova...
