Suprachiasmal carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysm--report of two cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two rare suprachiasmal carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysms, one large and one giant, were discovered incidentally. The patients had no visual disturbances. Angiography showed superomedial projection of the sac. The aneurysms were clipped via an ipsilateral pterional approach. A suprachiasmal carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysm is indicated when preoperative angiography reveals a superomedial carotid-ophthalmic artery aneurysm without visual disturbances. Direct surgery to clipp a suprachiasmal aneurysm should be carried out to prevent rupture of these frequently large aneurysms.

encountered aneurysm of ophthalmic artery in cadaver – a case report
Ophthalmic artery is the branch of internal carotid artery as it emerges from the cavernous sinus medial to anterior clinoid process. Thereafter it traverses in optic canal to enter in the orbit, lies inferolaterally to the optic nerve. It continues forward over the optic nerve (80%) and below the nerve (20%). Main trunk of the artery ends by dividing in to supratrochlear and dorsal nasal branc...
متن کاملInfraoptic Course of the Anterior Cerebral Artery: Case Report
(ACA)-anterior communicating artery (AComA) complex are commonly identified at imaging studies, an infraoptic ACA is extremely rare (1-4). In such cases, an anomalous vessel originates from the internal carotid artery (ICA) at the level of the ophthalmic artery, and then pursues an infraoptic and prechiasmatic path to supply the ACA. We describe a case of in which this anomaly coexisted with a ...
متن کاملLate-Onset Massive Epistaxis due to a Ruptured Traumatic Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysm: A Case Report
A traumatic internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm is rare and difficult to treat. Trapping of ICA is commonly performed owing to the difficulty of directly approaching ICA aneurysms. Recently, coiling the aneurysm itself was recommended if possible. However, it is controversial which of methods are best to completely treat aneurysm. We present the case of a 74-year-old man, who had experienced...

OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE We present a case of a patient with an ophthalmic artery aneurysm in which the ophthalmic artery originated from the body of the aneurysm, requiring sacrifice of the ophthalmic artery to achieve complete aneurysm obliteration. We awakened the patient intraoperatively to assess optic nerve function after clipping and were able to confirm optic nerve function. Controlled ...

Intracranial aneurysm in twins is a rare clinical disease entity. Only 15 cases have been described in the literature. We report on a pair of identical twins with intracranial aneurysms. One presented with subarachnoid haemorrhage; digital subtraction angiography showed a left posterior communicating artery aneurysm, which was treated by coiling. The patient's twin sister was called for screeni...
