Giant Cavernous Aneurysm Associated with a Persistent Trigeminal Artery and Persistent Otic Artery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Primitive trigeminal artery (PTA) and primitive otic artery (POA) is a very rare entity in adult life. We present a case of PTA and POA associated with a giant unruptured cavernous aneurysm in a 54-year-old woman. The PTA and the POA arose from the sac of the aneurysm directly, which greatly complicated endovascular therapy management.

RE: Giant Cavernous Aneurysm Associated with a Persistent Trigeminal Artery and Persistent Otic Artery
Dear Editor, We have an interesting article by Zhang et al. (1), named “Giant Cavernous Aneurysm Associated with a Persistent Trigeminal Artery and Persistent Otic Artery”, which was published in the Sep/Oct 2009 issue of the journal. The patient in this report has an excellent outcome. However, we want to share more information about this case. After the completion of the first endovascular pr...
متن کاملTransvenous embolisation of a carotid-trigeminal cavernous fistula.
A carotid cavernous fistula is an abnormal communication between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. Rarely, this communication is associated with a persistent primitive trigeminal artery, with or without a trigeminal artery aneurysm. We report a case of spontaneous carotid-trigeminal cavernous fistula in which the persistent trigeminal artery was shown only on vertebral artery...
متن کاملTreatment of carotid cavernous fistulae or cavernous aneurysms associated with a persistent trigeminal artery: report of three cases.
One case of traumatic carotid cavernous fistula and two cases of cavernous aneurysm associated with a persistent trigeminal artery are reported. Since a significant rate of infarctions or hemorrhages in the vertebrobasilar territory is associated with PTA, we prefer to permanently occlude the PTA during treatment of a carotid cavernous fistula or a cavernous aneurysm if the trigeminal artery ca...
متن کاملAngiographic documentation of a persistent otic artery.
The persistent otic artery is a rare remnant of early fetal development that, to our knowledge, has been convincingly documented only once before with angiography. Other persistent vessels such as the trigeminal, hypoglossal, and proatlantal intersegmental arteries have been found to be associated with a variety of vascular anomalies. We believe we present the second case of a persistent otic a...
متن کاملGiant cavernous aneurysm associated with trigeminal artery: treatment by detachable balloon.
Giant aneurysms of the cavernous internal carotid artery have been technically difficult to treat by direct surgical methods because of the surrounding cavernous sinus. Previous reports have recommended treatment of these symptomatic giant aneurysms by gradual cervical carotid artery occlusion utilizing a Selverstone or Kindt clamp [1-6]. With recent technical advances it is now possible to tre...
