Background: Aneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are a rare finding, only accounting for 0.4-4% of all peripheral aneurysm and 1% of all carotid diseases. Objective: To evaluate the clinical findings of a carotid aneurysm, considering the patient's background. Methods: A 54-year-old woman intense yoga practitioner presented with 3 weeks development of a pulsatile mass on the right side of the neck. No history of intravenous catheters, traumatism, or local infections. Ultrasound images revealed a 1.6 cm patent saccular aneurysm ICA dependent. During surgery, visualization of the aneurysm was seen without sign of endothelial damage. Results: Patient underwent elective resection with primary repair and was discharged 2-day postoperatively. Follow-ups revealed complete resolution of the symptoms with intraoperative tissue samples coming back without abnormalities. Conclusions: It is of utmost importance to inquire into the patient's background and perspective in being able to find an etiological case in rare findings.
La trombosis arterial asociada a catéter en población pediátrica está infraestimada y no existe un tratamiento estandarizado. Objetivo: Describir la evolución de los niños que han presentado isquemia arterial aguda en alguna extremidad asociada al uso de catéter. Métodos: Se incluyeron pacientes con clínica de isquemia arterial aguda asociada a cateterismo arterial pese al uso de vasopresores. Se recogieron y analizaron las variables demográficas, clínicas, del acceso, tratamiento y complicaciones. Resultados: Se incluyeron 25 pacientes con una edad media de 2.4 años. En 22 pacientes (88%) la isquemia se localizó en miembros inferiores. Todos los pacientes presentaron clínica de isquemia arterial. En todos los pacientes se retiró el catéter y 21 pacientes recibieron anticoagulación. La mortalidad a los 30 días fue del 40%. Los 15 supervivientes evolucionaron favorablemente. Conclusiones: La evolución de la isquemia arterial aguda en población infantil va asociada a la evolución de su patología de base. El manejo conservador es una opción aceptable.
