A Rare Cause of Juvenile Stroke: Extracranial Carotid Artery Aneurysm with Venous Complete Reconstruction of the Carotid Bifurcation

et al. 2018

Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAA) are a rare cause of embolic stroke. The underlying etiology is variable, with atherosclerosis being the most common entity in older subjects. Several treatments have been developed over the last 20 years, but the preferred method remains unknown. Notwithstanding the widespread use of endovascular techniques, surgical reconstruction by means of a bifurcated venous bypass graft should be applied in younger patients. In this way, it is possible to avoid major concerns about the development of long-term intrastent restenosis, and also to spare the external carotid artery which represents the main branch for the ipsilateral cerebral and facial perfusion. We propose ECAA resection and interposition of the inverted great saphenous vein to both the internal and external carotid artery by means the use of a tributary, i.e., the Giacomini vein.

“…The most common site of extracranial carotid artery pseudoaneurysms is the external carotid artery [ 5 , 14 ] while aneurysms often involve the bifurcation of the common carotid artery. In this case, the pseudoaneurysm was located 20 mm proximal to the carotid bifurcation.…”

“…Less frequent presentations include a mass mimicking a peritonsillar abscess, epistaxis, nasopharyngeal mass, paranasal sinus mass, and a pharyngeal mass [ 17 ]. The onset of neck pain should prompt the clinician to search for complications such as rupture, mural thrombosis, or dissection [ 5 , 7 ].…”

“…These aneurysms could be true aneurysms involving all the layers of the arterial wall or pseudoaneurysms in which there is no organic wall [ 4 – 6 ]. To our knowledge just about 30 cases of carotid artery aneurysms in infants have been published, a third of which were posttraumatic pseudoaneurysms which were either due to an accident or iatrogenic [ 5 , 7 , 8 ]. We report the case of an 8-year-old boy with no particular past history who underwent imaging for a suspected giant pseudoaneurysm of the left common carotid artery.…”

Pseudoaneurysm of the Common Carotid Artery in an Infant due to Swallowed Fish Bone

Carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition, particularly in the paediatric population. Only about 30 cases of carotid artery aneurysms in infants have been published until now. This paper reports the case of a giant pseudoaneurysm of the left common carotid artery due to swallowed fish bone by an 8-year-old boy. This pseudoaneurysm was 5.5 cm transverse-diameter and resulted in severe respiratory distress. It was treated by resection and end-to-end anastomosis with satisfactory outcome after one-year follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest carotid artery pseudoaneurysm ever described in children.
