The Right

We describe a unique case of Kimura's disease in which cerebral infarction was caused by occlusion of the right internal carotid artery. A 25-year-old man with Kimura's disease was admitted to our hospital because of left hemiparesis. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the head showed infarction in the right frontal and temporal lobes. Cerebral angiography demonstrated right internal carotid artery occlusion affecting the C1 segment, with moyamoya-like collateral vessels arising from the right opthalamic artery. Kimura's disease is a chronic disease characterized by the clinical triad of slowly enlarging subcutaneous masses with lymphoid hyperplasia in the head and neck. It often occurs in young Asian men. In our patient, the pathogenesis of internal carotid artery occlusion was unknown. There have only been a few case reports in which occlusion of the internal carotid artery was associated with autoimmune disease, and no previous cases of internal carotid occlusion associated with Kimura's disease have been reported. We suspected that occlusion of this patient's internal carotid artery may be caused by the autoimmune mechanism that underlies Kimura's disease.

Short Period

Pituitary apoplexy complicated by internal carotid artery occlusion was encountered in a patient with surprisingly moderate symptoms at presentation. For a short period of watchful waiting, primary collaterals obscured the emergent need for decompressive surgery, which after the sudden onset of neurological deterioration fortunately salvaged imminent cerebral infarction. Although a few similar cases have been described previously, the importance of collateral circulation has been left virtually without comment, while contrasting treatment strategies and high mortality rates suggest further case reports are warranted. Notably, a symptoms-based management seems likely to be insufficient in these rare situations, while our experience indicate early surgery could be judicious to consider.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Although the use of proximal artery occlusion, or hunterian ligation, for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms has decreased greatly over the past decades, this approach still finds use for certain giant and complex aneurysms. The main risks of artery sacrifice are ischemic complications but also, although rare, de novo aneurysm formation. We present here a case of de novo formation of a large fusiform basilar artery aneurysm 7 years after internal carotid artery occlusion. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 17-year-old male patient with a history of a giant right cavernous aneurysm treated 7 years earlier with right-sided endovascular internal carotid artery occlusion presented to our institution with a thunderclap headache. At the time of initial evaluation, the patient was neurologically intact and imaging revealed a 22 × 10-mm fusiform aneurysm of the distal basilar artery with mass effect on the adjacent pons as well as a small amount of subarachnoid and intraventricular blood. Complete occlusion of the right internal carotid artery was demonstrated with retrograde filling of the right middle cerebral artery from the enlarged right posterior communicating artery. The patient was subsequently treated with hunterian occlusion of the basilar artery below anterior inferior cerebellar arteries. A superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery bypass was performed on the right side before this occlusion. CONCLUSION: Further studies on the epidemiology of de novo aneurysms after carotid artery occlusion are warranted. Patients at higher risk of the development of intracranial aneurysms should be followed aggressively after hunterian ligation, and the possibility of an extracranial-intracranial bypass should be discussed.
