Cavernous Carotid Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following a Radical Cavernous Sinus Resection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Iatrogenic cavernous carotid pseudoaneurysms are a special group among other intracranial aneurysms. They can occur during the dissection phase of the surgery if the tumor encases a vessel. Complications of their rupture as hemorrhage or stroke are life threatening. Early recognition and treatment is mandatory to avoid catastrophic sequelae. We present the successful diagnosis and endovascular treatment of a postoperative cavernous carotid pseudoaneurysm following radical cavernous sinus resection.

Traumatic Carotid Cavernous Fistula with a Connection between the Supraclinoid Internal Carotid Artery and Cavernous Sinus via a Pseudoaneurysm Presenting with Delayed Life-threatening Epistaxis
Traumatic carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) presents most commonly as a direct connection between the cavernous segment of internal carotid artery (ICA) and cavernous sinus (CS), and often accompanies basal skull fracture (BSF). The most frequently reported signs and symptoms are proptosis, chemosis, and bruit. Epistaxis is uncommon symptom of CCF. A 63-year-old man with a history of BSF due to b...

متن کاملExtradural approach for cavernous hemangioma of the cavernous sinus: experience with 13 cases.
The clinical, radiological, and surgical issues concerning cavernous hemangiomas located within the dural confines of the cavernous sinus were analyzed on the basis of experience with 13 cases. The feasibility of radical resection by an entirely extradural approach using a basal temporal surgical route to this relatively rare and formidable surgical problem was investigated. Thirteen patients, ...
متن کاملProptosis caused by partially thrombosed orbital varix of the superior orbital vein associated with traumatic carotid-cavernous sinus fistula--case report.
A 49-year-old female presented with proptosis and slight chemosis with diplopia on the right. The patient had a past history of skull base fracture occurring one year before the onset of the symptoms. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a partially thrombosed varicose aneurysm (varix) of the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV). Carotid angiography showed a pseudoaneurysm in the right cavernous sinus, ...
متن کاملDelayed effects in the treatment of carotid-cavernous fistulas.
Carotid-cavernous fistulas may be classified into: (1) internal carotid, (2) external carotid, or (3) a combination of both. They may result from traumatic or spontaneous rupture of the carotid artery into the cavernous sinus. Intravascular embolization has become the treatment of choice for the management of carotid cavernous fistulas. The authors report the delayed effects after the treatment...
