Bilateral carotid dissection due to Eagle syndrome in a young female.

ABSTRACT: Eagle syndrome (ES) is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by the elongation of the temporal bone's styloid process, or calcification of stylohyoid ligament, compressing surrounding structures causing pharyngalgia. One of its variants, the styloid-carotid artery syndrome, produces symptoms by compression of the external or internal carotid arteries (ICA). Here, we present a case of a 43-year-old woman with ES and bilateral ICA dissections. The patient underwent staged bilateral angioplasty and covered stent placement, followed by styloidectomy. A computerized tomography angiogram revealed patency of both stents at a two-year follow-up.

Sonographic features of carotid artery dissection due to extension of aortic dissection: a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Carotid artery dissection due to extension of aortic dissection (CAEAD) is a severe complication of acute aortic dissection. The risk of ischemic stroke is increased. Early sonographic detection and repeat evaluation are necessary to guide clinical management. CASE PRESENTATION:A 58-year-old male patient presents with sudden, tearing retrosternal pain. Point-of-care carotid ultrasound is used to establish the diagnosis of CAEAD. We describe a number of sonographic features and compare ultrasound to other imaging modalities. CONCLUSIONS:Bedside carotid ultrasound enables rapid, sensitive and safe hemodynamic assessment, especially in critically ill patients.

Two Cases Treated by Different Strategies for Common Carotid Artery Dissection with Thrombosis Due to a Type A Aortic Dissection.

Project description:Total arch replacement and stent trunk were performed for two patients. One of these underwent a total bilateral carotid artery replacement in anatomical position while the other underwent partial carotid artery dissection. The first patient demonstrated no neurological complication after surgery and a postoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed bilateral common carotid artery patency. However, the second patient had neurological dysfunction after surgery, while a postoperative CTA showed occlusion of the left common carotid artery. Anatomical replacement for a common carotid artery dissection with thrombus has the potential to significantly improve cerebral perfusion and reduce postoperative neurological complications.

Management of Bilateral Carotid Occlusive Disease.

Project description:BackgroundSymptomatic bilateral internal carotid occlusive disease is a rare but potentially devastating entity. Medical therapy alone is associated with high rates of mortality and recurrent stroke. The optimal management of this disease remains poorly understood.MethodsA retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database was conducted for patients who presented with an acute stroke in the setting of bilateral carotid occlusive disease between May and October 2013.ResultsWe identified 3 patients. The admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ranged from 4 to 7. All patients had small- to moderate-sized infarcts in the anterior circulation on presentation. Angiography confirmed bilateral internal carotid occlusions with collateral filling via the posterior communicating artery and retrograde filling via external carotid artery supply to the ophthalmic artery. All patients were initially managed with permissive hypertension and anticoagulation followed by carotid angioplasty and stenting. At 1-year follow-up, all patients demonstrated a modified Rankin scale score of 0-1.ConclusionsCarotid stenting may be a safe and effective therapy for patients presenting with symptomatic bilateral carotid occlusions.

Bilateral complete labyrinthine aplasia with bilateral internal carotid artery aplasia, developmental delay, and gaze abnormalities: a presumptive case of a rare HOXA1 mutation syndrome.

Project description:The human HOXA1 mutation syndromes commonly present with abnormalities of the inner ear and ICAs. Previous cases describe varying degrees of hypoplasia or aplasia of the affected structures, often with asymmetric involvement. We present imaging findings documenting complete absence of the ICAs bilaterally with bilateral CLA, which, to our knowledge, has not been previously reported.

Type A aortic dissection secondary to a left common carotid artery dissection.

Project description:Common carotid artery dissection is an unusual clinical event that most commonly occurs secondary to type A aortic dissection. We present a rare case of spontaneous common carotid artery dissection temporally preceding aortic dissection. Our case highlights the careful attention that cases of common carotid dissection should be given; our knowledge base regarding their natural history and evidence-based management is distinctly lacking compared to dissection of other cervical vessels. It also demonstrates the importance of imaging the entire aorta at the time of, a seemingly isolated, common carotid dissection to exclude other potential synchronous dissections.

Bilateral sporadic carotid body tumors-A rare case report.

Project description:Carotid body tumor presents as palpable mass in anterolateral aspect of the neck. However, bilateral sporadic carotid body tumor is a rare anomaly, reported to occur in 5% of population. We are going to report the case of a 60-year-old patient who presented to our department with painless, palpable mass bilaterally in anterolateral aspects of the neck. He did not have any family history of neck masses. This paper summarizes the topic of carotid body tumor and discusses the radiological and clinical implications of this condition.

Permanent Bilateral Carotid Filters for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation.

Project description:Purpose of reviewA novel permanent carotid filter device for percutaneous implantation was developed for the purpose of stroke prevention. In this review, we cover rationale, existing preclinical and clinical data, and potential future directions for research using such a device.Recent findingsThe Vine™ filter was assessed for safety in sheep and in 2 observational human studies, the completed CAPTURE 1 (n = 25) and the ongoing CAPTURE 2 (planned n = 100). CAPTURE 1 has shown high procedural and long-term implant safety. A control group was not available for comparison. A mechanical filter for permanent stroke prevention can be implanted bilaterally in the common carotid artery safely and efficiently. A randomized trial is planned for 2021 (n = 3500, INTERCEPT) to demonstrate superiority of a filter + anticoagulation strategy over anticoagulation alone in patients at high risk for ischemic stroke.

Emergent surgical embolectomy in conjunction with cervical internal carotid ligation and superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass to treat acute tandem internal carotid and middle cerebral artery occlusion due to cervical internal carotid artery dissection.

Project description:BackgroundAcute tandem cervical dissecting internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and intracranial embolic middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion can be devastating, and the optimal treatment strategy for this condition has not been established yet.Case descriptionA 45-year-old male presented with aphasia and right hemiparesis preceded by neck pain. Computed tomography showed a high-density signal along the left MCA, suggesting extensive emboli. Magnetic resonance angiography demonstrated tandem occlusion of the left cervical ICA and intracranial MCA with minimal diffusion-weighted imaging lesion. Emergent surgical embolectomy was performed, and long intracranial MCA emboli were retrieved with collateral cross-flow restoration. The cervical ICA was exposed, and dissection was confirmed. The cervical ICA was ligated, and superficial temporal artery (STA)-MCA anastomosis was added. Postoperatively, the patient demonstrated recovery from right hemiparesis and aphasia. At the 6(th) postoperative month, follow-up studies demonstrated a robustly patent STA-MCA bypass and no additional ischemic lesion on T2-weighted imaging.ConclusionsSurgical embolectomy in conjunction with ligation of the cervical ICA followed by STA-MCA bypass might be a safe alternative method to endovascular recanalization, when the cervical dissection is extensive and when huge secondary emboli are present along the MCA.
