A case of spontaneous dissecting aneurysm of the internal carotid artery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dissecting aneurysm of the internal carotid artery, without preceding trauma, is a rare event. We have been unable to find a previous case report. One case of dissecting aneurysm of the internal carotid artery following head injury has been reported (Dratz and Woodhall, 1947), and two cases after carotid puncture for arteriography (Sirois, Lapointe, and Cote, 1954; de Grood, 1954) where the common carotid dissection extended into the internal carotid arteries. As an extension of a dissecting aneurysm of the aorta Shennan (1934) reported five cases. The following case, apart from its rarity, is of both radiological and pathological interest.

Spontaneous dissecting aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery is uncommon, and simultaneous onset of multiple dissecting aneurysms is rare in patients without congenital or traumatic risk factors. A few reports suggest that extracranial internal carotid artery dissecting aneurysms can grow after SAH due to another intracranial dissecting aneurysm. The present report describes two ...

Dissecting aneurysms of the vertebrobasilar system are infrequent. Most of the commonly reported cases describe iatrogenic or traumatic aneurysms of the extracranial vertebral artery. Spontaneous dissecting aneurysms of the extracranial vertebral artery are frequently associated with carotid artery lesions; however, such association is poorly documented in the literature. We describe a case of ...

Spontaneous dissecting aneurysms of the internal carotid artery occur almost exclusively in the extracranial segment of the artery. The incidence is higher among males and the average age is relatively low (mean: 45 years). The existence of a lesion involving the wall of the carotid artery must be considered in the patient presenting with atypical facial neuralgia or incomplete but painful Horn...
