چکیده
Agenesis and hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are rare congenital anomalies, occurring in less than 0.01% of the population. We report a rare case of bilateral hypoplasia of the ICA in a patient with post-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. We describe the embryological development of the cerebral vasculature and present a review of literature.

INTRODUCTION Hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery is a rare congenital anomaly, with only 24 cases of bilateral internal carotid artery hypoplasia reported to date. Here, we present the case of a 48-year-old woman with bilateral internal carotid artery hypoplasia. She had a collateral circulation through the vertebrobasilar system; however given the high pressure flow she developed aneurys...
متن کاملBilateral complete labyrinthine aplasia with bilateral internal carotid artery aplasia, developmental delay, and gaze abnormalities: a presumptive case of a rare HOXA1 mutation syndrome.
The human HOXA1 mutation syndromes commonly present with abnormalities of the inner ear and ICAs. Previous cases describe varying degrees of hypoplasia or aplasia of the affected structures, often with asymmetric involvement. We present imaging findings documenting complete absence of the ICAs bilaterally with bilateral CLA, which, to our knowledge, has not been previously reported.
متن کاملCongenital Hypoplasia of Bilateral Internal Carotid Artery with Migraine-Like Headache with Aura
To the Editor: A 36‐year‐old man with intermittent migraine‐like headache with aura for 20 years underwent cerebrovascular computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealing very small calibers of bilateral internal carotid arteries (ICAs) in other hospital. He was admitted to our hospital for further examination several days later. He had no vascular risk factors, and no family history of atheros...
