Optic Nerve Compression by a Dolichoectatic Internal Carotid Artery: Case Report

Isolated Pathetick nerve paresis by compression from a dolichoectatic basilar artery: case report.

The article describes a woman with 53 year-old that has presented diplopia when looking down and adopted a tilted head position in order to read for the last six months.

Pituitary Apoplexy Producing Internal Carotid Artery Compression: A Case Report

We report a case of pituitary apoplexy resulting in right internal carotid artery occlusion accompanied by hemiplegia and lethargy. A 43-yr-old man presented with a sudden onset of severe headache, visual disturbance and left hemiplegia. Investigations revealed a nodular mass, located in the sella and suprasellar portion and accompanied by compression of the optic chiasm. The mass compressed th...

Ruptured saccular aneurysm of a dolichoectatic internal carotid artery in a patient with agenesis of the contralateral internal carotid artery--case report.

A 42-year-old woman presented with very rare cases of ruptured saccular aneurysm of a dolichoectatic internal carotid artery (ICA) associated with agenesis of the contralateral ICA manifesting as sudden onset of severe headache and nausea without neurological deficits. Angiography and three-dimensional computed tomography demonstrated intraventricular hemorrhage with slight subarachnoid hemorrh...

A Penetrating Pellet Jeopardizing Internal Carotid Artery

Left Internal Carotid Artery Arising from the Right Cavernous Internal Carotid Artery: A Case Report

Anatomical variations involving the internal carotid artery are uncommon. Herein, we present a very rare origin of the internal carotid artery. An adult female presented to the emergency department after falling. Imaging revealed that the left internal carotid artery arose from the contralateral cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery. Such a variation should be kept in mind by radiolo...
