We describe a case of acute middle cerebral artery occlusion in a patient with ipsilateral internal carotid artery dysgenesis successfully treated with mechanical thrombectomy utilising a collateral pathway. During the procedure, a triaxial system using a balloon guiding catheter, flexible large lumen aspiration catheter and stent retriever was advanced from the left vertebral artery to the occluded left middle cerebral artery through the left posterior communicating artery. Because proximal aspiration from the balloon guiding catheter alone might have insufficient suction force due to the retrograde blood flow from large vascular communications (e.g. vertebral artery union), the tip of the flexible large lumen aspiration catheter was set at the proximal left middle cerebral artery, and distal aspiration was added during stent retrieval. A thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2b result was achieved after the first pass. In this case, identification of carotid canal hypoplasia on computed tomography allowed for an immediate attempt of this alternative approach, avoiding a delay in the time to reperfusion.

Radiation vasculopathy is one of the rare causes of ischemic stroke. Carotid stenosis with large volume infarction may occur years after radiation therapy for head or neck cancer. We report a case of a patient with bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion presenting with left middle cerebral artery infarct 10 years after receiving treatment for tongue cancer. A literature review and discussion of treatment for such patients are presented.

We describe the case of an 86-year-old Japanese man who, by luxury perfusion after spontaneous recanalization of the left middle cerebral artery/internal carotid artery, produced acute transient sensory aphasia. This rare phenomenon is thought to be caused by reperfusion brain injury.

Sometimes in clinical neurology, we diagnose a very rare case. We report on a patient who presented with crisis of headache and vomiting (clinically diagnose as migraine). Computed tomography (CT) scan of the head did not reveal any structural lesion. Magnetic resonance angiography showed absence of left internal carotid artery associated with absence of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA).

Abstract Embolic protection devices (EPDs) have become a standard of care during internal carotid artery revascularization.1,2 This video is about a 57-yr-old-male who presented with a wake-up stroke with a left hemispheric syndrome. Head computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed tandem occlusions of the proximal left internal carotid artery (ICA) and of the distal left middle cerebral artery (MCA) with an ASPECT (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score) score of 6. The patient underwent a cerebral angiogram and was treated with balloon angioplasty with a distal EPD and mechanical thrombectomy. The EPD became occluded with thrombus from the ICA and was retrieved through a 6-Fr Sofia (MicroVention) under continuous aspiration. Successful revascularization of the proximal ICA and distal MCA was achieved. No procedure-related complications occurred, and the patient's neurological exam improved. Tandem occlusions can occur in up to 15% of strokes. The optimal treatment can be controversial, but mechanical thrombectomy and ICA revascularization with a distal EPD appear to be safe and effective in selected patients.3 Consent was obtained for the procedure and for the video production.
