Penetration of the Optic Nerve and Falciform Ligament by an Internal Carotid Artery-Ophthalmic Artery Aneurysm: Case Reoport
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of an internal carotid artery (ICA)-ophthalmic artery aneurysm with penetration of the opticnerve. In addition, this case penetrated the falciform ligament, which severely disturbed optic canal unroofing during surgery. This is the first reported case in which penetration of the optic nerve and falciform ligament has been shown. To remove the anterior clinoid process in this case, the ultrasonic bone curette was a useful tool.

Dural waisting as a sign of subarachnoid extension of cavernous carotid aneurysms: a follow-up case report.
OBJECTIVE Even when augmented by CT and MRI, it can be difficult on angiography to predict which intracavernous carotid artery aneurysms (ICCAA) have subarachnoid extension and therefore pose a higher risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Previously we reported a case of an ICCAA, which on angiogram had a focal tapering of the dome that we termed a "waist." At surgery this lesion was found to have s...
متن کاملencountered aneurysm of ophthalmic artery in cadaver – a case report
Ophthalmic artery is the branch of internal carotid artery as it emerges from the cavernous sinus medial to anterior clinoid process. Thereafter it traverses in optic canal to enter in the orbit, lies inferolaterally to the optic nerve. It continues forward over the optic nerve (80%) and below the nerve (20%). Main trunk of the artery ends by dividing in to supratrochlear and dorsal nasal branc...

BACKGROUND The lesser wing of the sphenoid is a clinically important structure, particularly with regard to its anatomical relationship with neurovascular structures including the optic nerve, ophthalmic artery, and internal carotid artery. Anterior clinoidectomy, a neurosurgical procedure utilized to access paraclinoid aneurysms and neoplasms, is often complicated by the presence of anatomical...
متن کاملSplitting and penetration of the optic nerve by an aneurysm arising from the anterior wall of internal carotid artery: case report.
Aneurysms arising from the anterior wall of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are uncommon. There have not been any reports demonstrating the anatomical relation of such aneurysms to the optic nerve. An aneurysm arising from the anterior wall of the ICA splitting and penetrating the optic nerve is reported. A 73 year old woman presented with severe headache due to subarachnoid haemorrhage. She ...

AIM Many approaches for optic nerve decompression have their own advantages and disadvantages. The aim of this study was to perform endoscopic decompression of optic nerve through the supraorbital keyhole and evaluate its feasibility. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten adult cadaveric heads were studied using 4-mm, 0- and 30-degree rigid endoscopes to perform the optic nerve decompression through the s...
