Abstract

The patient also underwent a total body CT scan, which revealed no other aneurysms as well as stability of left carotid aneurysms. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed a 13 × 14 mm diameter saccular aneurysm in the right extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) with concomitant carotid kinking and two other small aneurysms (2 mm in diameter) in the left ICA (Panels A1 and A2, arrows). An angiography confirmed the presence of carotid aneurysms (Panels B1 and B2, arrows) and the absence of arteriovenous malformations or cerebral vasospasm. [Extracted from the article]
