Endovascular coil embolization of the left internal carotid artery aneurysm. Case report.

In the current case report we present a novel case of a successful coil embolization of the left internal carotid artery aneurysm. Patient presented with neck pain and a palpable pulsating tumor was admitted to the vascular surgery clinic where neck Angio-CT scan was performed. Angio-CT revealed left internal carotid artery aneurysm with a narrow neck. Patient was admitted to the department of vascular surgery where the patient was enrolled into endovascular coil embolization. After the procedure, control angiography showed complete embolization of the aneurysm. Three months following the procedure, doppler ultrasonography of the carotid arteries showed no demonstrable flow into the aneurysm. Six months following the procedure, angio-CT confirmed complete aneurysm thrombosis. Based on this case, endovascular coil embolization of the carotid artery aneurysms is safe and effective method of treatment. Keywords: tumor, aneurysm, coile.
