Internal Carotid Artery Injury

Background Damage of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is very rare but can be a dramatic complication of endonasal sinus surgery. In the literature only a few cases are reported, some of them with fatal results. Methods We present two cases with massive bleeding of the ICA caused by endonasal sinus surgery. Results In both cases bleeding could be stopped sufficiently by implanting a stentgraft. Conclusion The lumen of the artery could be preserved and no neurological deficits were observed.

Internal Carotid Artery Injury

ABSTRACT Functional endoscopic sinus surgery is a widely accepted technique, performed extensively in conjugation with septoplasty and paranasal sinus disorders, with good results and minimal complications. Even though, extreme care is required during surgery due to the proximity of the sinuses to the eyes, optic nerves, brain and internal carotid arteries. Here we report a rare case of unusually deep intracranial extension of instrument with internal carotid artery injury during functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Internal Carotid Artery Injury

Injury to the cavernous portion of the internal carotid artery is a well recognized and dreaded complication of functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Little information, however, has been presented in the Otolaryngology literature regarding the etiology, prevention, or treatment of this complication. The purpose of this study is to present a case report of a cavernous carotid artery injury during functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Relevant anatomy, preventive measures, and treatment approaches are discussed for this difficult problem.
