Internal carotid artery agenesis with stenosed intercavernous anastomosis: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a rare case of internal carotid artery agenesis with stenosed intercavernous anastomosis. A 59-year-old male patient presented with a new infarction in the left basal ganglia. Magnetic resonance angiography and cerebral angiography showed that the right internal carotid artery disappeared from the origin to the foramen lacerum segment, and there was an anastomotic artery with severe stenosis passed through the floor of the sella and in front of the cavernous sinus. The right A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery was absent and A2 segment was supplied by the normal contralateral internal carotid artery via the anterior communicating artery.

We report a case of unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery with intercavernous anastomosis, a rare development anomaly. MR and carotid ultrasound, in association with clinical awareness, can be used to diagnose this condition.

The blood supply to the region of the cavernous sinus is provided by interconnecting branches of the internal and external carotid arteries, and it is from these vessels that dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) arise. It is very rare that DAVFs are located at the intercavernous sinuses region; in this case, a proper localization of the fistulous site is of extreme importance in order to succes...
متن کاملCongenital absence of the cervical and petrous internal carotid artery with intercavernous anastomosis.
Congenital absence of an internal carotid artery is a rare anomaly. Less than 1 00 cases have been reported in the English literature. It is usually associated with collateral flow to the involved vascular territory, so neurologic deficits are few. However, this anomaly is also associated with a high occurrence of intracranial aneurysms. We report two cases of absent internal carotid artery wit...
متن کاملAgenesis of the right internal carotid artery with an unusual transsellar intracavernous intercarotid connection.
Unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery (lCA) is a very rare anomaly. Generally, when the ICA is congenitally absent, blood is carried to the affected side through the circle of Willis by the basilar artery and the opposite ICA. We report a case of unilateral agenesis of the ICA in which the affected hemisphere was supplied by an anomalous artery between the cavernous parts of the tw...
متن کاملAgenesis of the internal carotid artery associated with aortic arch anomaly in a patient with congenital Horner's syndrome.
We report a rare case of agenesis of the left internal carotid artery (ICA) and an aortic arch anomaly that presented with ipsilateral congenital Horner's syndrome. Digital subtraction angiography revealed left ICA agenesis shortly after its origin and anastomosis between the left maxillary artery and the supraclinoid segment of the left ICA. Aortography of the aortic arch revealed the right su...
