Position-Related Subclavian and Internal Carotid Artery Compression During Robotic Thymectomy

We describe a rare clinical case: onset of acute neurological symptoms suggestive of a pesudostroke, caused by an imbalance in cerebral blood flow as a result of internal carotid artery compression by an enlarged lymph node secondary to metastases from a disseminated non-gestational mediastinal choriocarcinoma. This was accompanied by decompensation due to paraneoplastic coagulopathy.

Carotid Artery Compression

Although internal jugular vein stenosis (IJVS) is not uncommon, a lack of clinical attention will lead to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. This study describes two 61-year-old women with bilateral IJVS induced by tortuous internal carotid artery compression and reviews current reports on this condition, including its clinical characteristics and treatment strategies, to provide a reference for clinicians.

Carotid Artery Compression

We report an unusual case of a 53-year-old female presenting with symptoms of transient ischemic attack secondary to compression of the left internal carotid artery with mandible depression. Duplex ultrasound examination confirmed compression of the left internal carotid artery with mouth opening. Normally, the posterior belly of the digastric muscle contracts to induce mandible depression and opens the mouth; however, this muscle contraction motion caused compression on her internal carotid artery resulting in her symptoms.
