Internal Carotid Artery Dorsal Wall Aneurysm: A Rare Neurosurgical Entity
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2014, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Saccular aneurysms arising from the dorsal wall of the internal carotid artery are extremely rare. It is still a surgical challenge to achieve safe and successful clipping due to their unusual projection and fragile nature. A 32 years old gentleman presented with severe headache and high blood pressure. CT head showed SAH in basal cistern. CT angiogram demonstrated left dorsal ICA aneurysm rupture. The aneurysm was successfully clipped parallel to ICA without intraoperative and postoperative rupture. Postoperatively, he has no neurological defi cits and leading his normal life.
