Computed Tomographic Angiogram of an Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm Causing Acute Retrobulbar Optic Neuropathy: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three-dimensional computed tomographic (3D-CT) angiography is a widespread imaging modality for intracranial vascular lesions. However, 3D-CT angiograms of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm associated with acute retrobulbar optic neuropathy have not been previously described. We present 3D-CT angiograms of an aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery that caused subarachnoid hemorrhage and vision loss in a 39-year old man. The 3D-CT angiograms were consistent with findings identified directly during surgery.

The purpose of our study was to compare findings of 64 detector cranial computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and conventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) mainly in patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) headache and diplopia. Between March 2007 and May 2009, 65 consecutive patients were admitted with clinical symptoms and signs of intracranial aneurysm. 44 of 67 detected ...
متن کاملBilateral anomalous anterior cerebral artery and infraoptic aneurysm.
A CT scan demonstrated a subarachnoid hemorrhage. A followup four-vessel cerebral angiogram demonstrated bilateral anomalous ACAs, with the origin at the level of the ophthalmic artery proximal to the posterior communicating and anterior choroidal arteries. The proximal portion of each ectopic proximal segment was horizontal , suggesting that both ACAs coursed below the optic nerves (Figs . 1 A...
