Definition Of

The ultrasound definition of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECCAs) is unclear. The threshold diameter to use for defining an extracranial carotid artery as aneurysmal is still debated. Similarly, the ultrasound method of choice for measuring the maximum diameter of ECCAs has not been agreed. In this paper we report the case of a patient with a fusiform aneurysm at the level of the carotid artery bifurcation and a large saccular aneurysm of the proximal internal carotid artery, and discuss the information essential to acquire when ECCAs are detected with ultrasound.

BackgroundThe pipeline embolization device (PED) is approved for the treatment of large aneurysms of the proximal internal carotid artery (ICA). Its off-label application in treating aneurysms located specifically at the ICA terminus (ICA-T) has not been studied.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective chart review of patients from 2011 to 7 treated with PEDs. Out of 365 patients, 10 patients with ICA-T aneurysms were included. Patient demographics, procedural information, follow-up imaging, and clinical assessments were recorded.ResultsMean age was 46.9 years (± 8.8), and 6 (60%) patients were women. The mean maximum diameter of the aneurysms treated was 14.7 mm (± 10.7) and the mean neck diameter was 9.3 mm (± 6.6). Reasons for presentation included six incidental findings, one acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and three patients with prior SAH. Kamran–Byrne Occlusion Scale scores for the treated aneurysms were as follows: three class IV (complete obliteration), four class III (<50% filling in both height and width for fusiform aneurysms or residual neck for saccular aneurysms), one class II fusiform aneurysm, 1 class 0 saccular aneurysm (residual aneurysm body), and one not classified due to pipeline thrombosis. Two clinically asymptomatic complications were noted: one patient who had a small distal cortical SAH post PED and one patient whose stent was found to be thrombosed on follow-up angiogram. All patients were seen in follow-up, and no patients were found to have worsening of their pre-procedure modified Rankin Scale score.ConclusionThe PED has potential for treating ICA-T aneurysms not amenable to conventional treatment strategies. Further studies are warranted to confirm the long term outcomes.

Proximal Internal Carotid Artery

Abstract A ruptured aneurysm at the origin of the bilateral pericallosal arteries with an anomalous anterior cerebral artery was found in a 56-year-old man. The abnormal solitary anterior cerebral artery arose from the intracranial proximal internal carotid artery, passed underneath the ipsilateral optic nerve, and turned upward at the midline as a common trunk of the bilateral pericallosal arteries. Subarachnoid hemorrhage recurred 15 days postoperatively, and the patient did poorly. The 20 published cases of this rare anomaly (an infraoptic course of the anterior cerebral artery with a low bifurcation of the internal carotid artery) are reviewed. This anomaly should be referred to by the descriptive term “carotid-anterior cerebral artery anastomosis.” It is frequently associated with aneurysms.

Abstract This 41-years-old female presented with somnolence, confusion and nuchal rigidity. Preoperative angio-CT scan showed two aneurysm located on both internal carotid artery (ICA) at the site of posterior communicating artery (PComA). During surgery we discovered another dilatation on the origin of left ophtalmic artery that proves to be an infundibullum. We clipped the two communicating posterior aneurysm from the left side and the ophtalmic infundibullum was wrapped. Seven days after surgery the neurological status was improved and she was transferred to the Neurological department.
