CT revealed absence of the corresponding carotid canal. MR documented absence of the internal carotid artery in the cavernous sinus.

Carotid angioplasty and stenting in a patient with high grade stenosis of Internal Carotid Artery associated with both vertebral arteries and contralateral carotid occlusion
Severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in middle-aged patients. Contralateral carotid occlusion (CCO) in patients with severe ICA stenosis is associated with high risk of CVA. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is associated with more complications in patients with CCO than those without CCO. In this study, we present the case of a 61-year-ol...
متن کاملA ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm associated with internal carotid artery agenesis and a middle cerebral artery anomaly.
Agenesis of the internal carotid artery associated with an anomalous middle cerebral artery originating from the contralateral internal carotid artery is rare. We report a patient with agenesis of the internal carotid artery presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a rupture of an aneurysm in the anterior communicating artery.

A case of agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) associated with an anomalous middle cerebral artery (MCA) originating from the contralateral ICA is herein reported. This rare case presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a rupture of an anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysm.
متن کاملUnilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery.
Unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is an extremely rare anomaly. Diagnosis is often incidental in a radiological examination. Recognition of this anomaly has important clinical implications because other life-threatening conditions can be associated and it must be taken into account when planning carotid surgery. We report a case of 64-year-old man with agenesis of the ICA.
متن کاملMultiple aneurysms associated with agenesis of internal carotid artery.
Agenesis of internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare anomaly. The contralateral dominant artery has a high incidence of aneurysms. A 50-year-old male patient had aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage due to rupture of a paraclinoid aneurysm. He also had an anterior communicating artery (Acom) aneurysm and the contralateral ICA was absent. To the best of the authors knowledge, the combination of age...
