dissection of the internal carotid artery (ica) is a rare condition that accounts for a significant proportion of ischemic strokes in young adults. iatrogenic dissection as a complication of neurointerventional procedures is a traumatic dissection which has been reported relatively rare in the literature. in this report, a case of dissection of the ica is reported that was caused by repetitive ...

The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of microsurgical clipping and endovascular coiling in patients with oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP) caused by internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm. Among 17 patients with ICA aneurysms presented with ONP, 9 (52.9%) underwent microsurgical clipping and 8 (47.1%) underwent endovascular coiling. Outcomes of functional recovery of ONP we...

BACKGROUND Carotid body tumors are rare tumors that arise from the paraganglionic cells of the carotid body. They are usually benign, requiring surgical resection as the treatment of choice. CASE REPORT We present a case of a 59-year-old man with a benign left carotid body tumor that progressed to a very large size, compromised the patient's airway, completely encased the carotid vessels, vagus...

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE Traumatic intracranial internal carotid artery dissection is a rare but significant cause of stroke in patients in their forties, leading to high morbidity and mortality. Simultaneous ischemic stroke and optic nerve infarction can occur. Clinical suspicion of dissection is determining in the acute management.

A case of internal carotid artery dissection presenting as delayed right hemilingual paresis after blunt craniocervical trauma is presented. Diagnosis is discussed with emphasis on MR and MR angiographic findings. Mechanisms of injury and lower cranial nerve palsy are also briefly discussed.

A case is presented of a 67-year-old woman with hypertension and arteriosclerosis who died from cerebral infarction. There was an associated arteriosclerotic aneurysm of the right vertebral artery, and incidental congenital or berry aneurysms of the anterior communicating and left internal carotid or anterior cerebral artery. The latter aneurysm was situated within the left optic nerve.

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were (1) to examine cerebrovascular autoregulation in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes and (2) to clarify whether cardiovascular autonomic nerve function is associated with abnormal cerebrovascular autoregulation. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Totally, 46 subjects were recruited (12 = impaired glucose tolerance, 17 = type 2 diabetes a...

BACKGROUND Detailed knowledge of every possible manifestation of Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) disease is important. For improving detection and a timely adoption of secondary prevention procedures or treatments. Transient oculomotor nerve palsies have been described associated with stenosis or occlusion of the ICA. CASE PRESENTATION We described a patient that develop a sequential combinatio...

Internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) accounts for 25% of cerebrovascular accidents in young and middle-aged patients. Dissection occurs when the intimal wall of an artery is damaged as a result of trauma or defect. ICAD development after dental work is a relatively uncommon phenomenon. Our study highlights a rare presentation of ICAD that resulted from a direct lidocaine nerve block inject...
