IntroduçãoOs aneurismas da carótida extra-craniana são uma patologia pouco frequente e de etiologia variável, embora de grande importância clínica. As suas manifestações são principalmente neurológicas e de origem tromboembólica. O tratamento de eleição é cirúrgico, na maioria dos casos mediante dissecção e revascularização. Caso clínicoApresentamo...

Introdução. Os aneurismas da carótida interna extra-craniana representam uma patologia muito pouco frequente, especialmente associada a estenose. Caso clínico. Trata-se de um homem de 75 anos de idade com cardiopatia muito grave, que apresenta um acidente isquémico transitório (AIT) do hemisfério direito, seguido de uma deterioração lenta das funçõ...

BackgroundSince their original description in 1687, aneurysms of the extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) remain rare and account for less than 2% of all carotid operations (Zwolak et al. in: J Vasc Surg 1:415–422, 1984; El-Sabrout, Cooley in: J Vasc Surg 31:702–712, 2000). Cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality rates remain high without int...

Mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic fungal infection. Rhinocerebral form of the disease mainly affects diabetic or immunocompromised patients. Mucormycosis have specific tropism for blood vessels leading to mucorthrombosis and less often to mycotic aneurysms. We report on a patient initially presenting with a severe sphenoid sinusopathy, who progr...

BackgroundUnilateral isolated abducens palsy can occur due to any lesion from pons to orbit. The precise localization is made through the associated neurological signs. Parkinson syndrome is a symptom complex of unilateral abducens palsy with ipsilateral postganglionic Horner syndrome localizing the lesion to posterior cavernous sinus. ResultsWe de...

IntroductionCoiling is the gold standard for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. However, some issues associated with endovascular treatment limit its long-term efficiency. Recanalization with coil compaction is certainly the most important. New approaches may be considered to promote thrombus colonization by mesenchymal cells and aneurysm hea...

Cavernous carotid aneurysms are considered benign lesions with indolent natural history. Apart from idiopathic aneurysms, traumatic, iatrogenic, and mycotic aneurysms are common in the cavernous segment of the carotid artery. With rapid advances in endovascular therapy, management of cavernous carotid aneurysms has evolved. Our aim was to review th...
