Extra-cranial aneurysm of the internal carotid artery treated by proximal ligation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of aneurysm of the extra-cranial section of the internal carotid artery extending to the base of the skull is described. Treatment comprised proximal vessel ligation, the tolerance of the patient's cerebral circulation to this procedure first being assessed by measuring the back pressure across the circle of Willis after temporary carotid artery occlusion. The value of this technique is discussed.

The Surgical Management and Histology of Symptomatic large Extra Cranial Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysms
The aim of the present study is to describe the treatment strategy and histological findings in patients with large extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms. The resection of the aneurysm and end-to-end anastomosis of the ICA was performed in Case 1 because the patient displayed balloon test occlusion (BTO) intolerance and ICA coiling. Case 2 was treated with an extracranial to intr...
متن کاملRapid revascularization after therapeutic parent artery occlusion for a large intracavernous carotid artery aneurysm.
A 21-year-old woman presented with an unruptured large intracavernous aneurysm, which was spontaneously revascularized via unusual collateral pathways a short time after extracranial-intracranial bypass and surgical ligation of the proximal internal carotid artery. The patient had been treated for a large basilar trunk aneurysm with intraaneurysmal embolization using Guglielmi detachable coils,...
متن کاملGiant aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery.
Aneurysm of the extracranial internal artery is a rare condition with incidence of 0.8-1% of all aneurysms. It can give rise to serious complications like; haemorrhage due to rupture, stroke and thrmboembolism. Its treatment is technically challenging. One such case of giant aneurysm of extracranial internal carotid artery was found in a 70 years old lady. The aneurysm was treated by proximal a...
متن کاملDissecting aneurysms of all four cervicocranial arteries in fibromuscular dysplasia: treatment with self-expanding endovascular stents, coil embolization, and surgical ligation.
A patient with cervicocranial fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage. A ruptured dissecting distal vertebral artery aneurysm required clip ligation of the parent artery; a contralateral dissecting proximal vertebral aneurysm was occluded with detachable coils. Progressive dissecting, extracranial aneurysms of the internal carotid artery were treated with self-expan...
متن کاملEffects of carotid ligation on the size of internal carotid aneurysms.
Aneurysms of the intrathecal portion of the internal carotid artery are commonly treated by ligation of one of the carotid arteries in the neck. After ligation of the internal carotid artery, subsequent angiographic demonstration of the site ofsuch an aneurysm may prove difficult or impossible; but if ligation has been confined to the common carotid the internal carotid artery usually remains p...
