EXTRACRANIAL INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY ANEURYSM: CASE REPORT

Abstract

Extracranial internal carotid artery ICA aneurysms, although seen rarely, must be paid attention as it may cause potential fatal complications such as thromboemboli and rupturation. Forty-four year-old female admitted to our clinic with a progressive bulging mass since 5 years on left side of her neck. No neurologic symptom like stroke, transient ischemic attack or cranial nerve dysfunction was detected. Initial investigation with colorduplex ultrasound CDUS demonstrated saccular aneurysm of the ICA on the left. On magnetic resonance angiography MRA a 16x25 mm sacculer aneurysm was revealed on 3cm distal part of left carotid bifurcation. ICA was anastomosed with end-to-end technique following resection of aneurismatic segment

EKSTRAKRANYAL İNTERNAL KAROTİD ARTER ANEVRİZMASI: OLGU SUNUMU

Abstract

Ekstrakrayal internal karotid arter İKA anevrizması nadir görülen fakat tromboemboli, rüptür gibi potansiyel fetal komplikasyonları nedeniyle üzerinde durulması gereken anevrizmalardır. Kırk dört yaşında bayan hasta yaklaşık 5 yıl önce başlayan ve giderek büyüyen boynunun sol tarafında şişlik şikayeti ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Hastamızda inme, geçici iskemik atak ve kranyal sinir disfonksiyonu gibi herhangi bir nörolojik semptom mevcut değildi. Çekilen servikal renkli doppler ultrasonografi RDUS ile yapılan ilk değerlendirmede, sol İKA’da sakküler tipte anevrizma gözlendi. Hastanın çekilen manyetik rezonans anjiografi MRA tetkikinde sol internal karotis arter bifurkasyonundan yaklaşık 3 cm distalde 16x25 mm çaplı sakküler tipte anevrizma saptandı. Cerrahi tedavide anevrizma rezeksiyonu sonrasında İKA uç uca anastomoze edildi
