  • The incidence of spontaneous recanalization after traumatic internal carotid artery occlusion is very rare. We have experienced a case of spontaneous recanalization after a traumatic internal carotid artery occlusion. A 5-year-old boy developed contra-lateral hemiparesis and dysphasia after a blunt injury on the head and neck. He had a complete left internal carotid artery occlusion which was diagnosed through angiography. We treated the patient with an anti platelet agent and rehabilitation. Six months later, he regained motor power of right extremities, language ability, and revisualization of internal carotid artery on the follow-up magnetic angiography. We confirmed a recanalization of injured internal carotid artery on the conventional cerebral angiography which was performed one year later. We suggest conservative treatment with serial angiographic studies as a possible option of traumatic internal carotid artery occlusion even though there is hemodynamic instability.

  • The optimal surgical approach to the patients with coronary artery disease combined with carotid artery stenosis is controversial. We report two cases of successful surgical management of the patients with combined obstructive coronary and carotid artery disease. The first case was a 69-year-old female who had unstable angina pectoris and a past medical history of left carotid endarterectomy. She was revealed to have triple vessel coronary disease and nearly total occlusion of right internal carotid artery. She was undergone staged right carotid endarterectomy 10 days before coronary bypass surgery. The second case, a 54-year-old male with a past medical history of left hemiparesis and dysarthria, was admitted due to unstable angina pectoris. He was revealed to have triple-vessel coronary disease and more than 90% stenosis of left internal carotid artery and 50% stenosis of right internal carotid artery. In the latter case, a combined coronary bypass surgery and left carotid endarterectomy was done. In both cases, postoperative neurologic complications were not observed.

  • Alternative to carotid endarterectomy, carotid artery stenting (CAS) can be performed for symptomatic severe stenosis of internal carotid artery, especially for high-risk patients. Among several complications after CAS, subacute in-stent thrombosis is rare but important, because patient's condition can deteriorate rapidly. Subacute in-stent thrombosis with carotid artery occlusion can be managed by superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis. We report two cases of STA-MCA anastomosis for internal carotid artery occlusion by subacute in-stent thrombosis after CAS.

  • Carotid body tumors are uncommon tumors of the head and neck Surgery is the primary treatment for the tumor. Large carotid body tumors frequently encircle the common, internal, and exernal carotid arteries, and extensive bleeding often complicates the resection, increasing the risk of carotid artery rupture and damange to major cranial nerves. Grafting should be used in high-risk patients. We have experienced a case of carotid body tumor which encircle the common, internal and external carotid arteries, treated with ligation of external carotid artery and grafting using Gortex between common carotid artery and internal carotid artery.

  • Extracranial carotid artery disease is rare and closely related to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.We experienced one case of surgical treatment of left common carotid artery stenosis using internal shunt.The patient was 54-year-old female presented as headache and dizziness for about 2 years.On Doppler ultrasound, an atheromatous plaque was noted along the posteromedial wall of left common carotid artery resulting in luminal narrowing in about 75s of cross section area.The atheroma was resected through carotid endarterectomy, measured about 5.2cm in length. Postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged in good condition.

  • Spontaneous bilateral cerebellar infarction in the territory of the superior cerebellar arteries is extremely rare. Occasionally there have been reports of bilateral cerebellar infarction due to vertebrobasilar atherosclerotic occlusion or stenosis, whereas no report of bilateral cerebellar infarction due to complicated hemodynamic changes. In this report, we present a patient with bilateral cerebral infarctions related to stenoses of bilateral internal carotid arteries, in whom vertebrobasilar system was supplied by multiple collaterals from both posterior communicating arteries and right external carotid artery. We performed stent-angioplasty of bilateral internal cerebral arterial stenosis, and then acute infarction developed on bilateral superior cerebellar artery territories. The authors assumed that the infarction occurred due to hemodynamic change between internal carotid artery and external carotid artery after stent-angioplasty for stenosis of right internal carotid artery.

  • Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the luminal stenosis of the internal carotid artery with calcification detected on panoramic radiographs. Materials and Methods : This study used fifty carotid arteries of 36 dental patients whose panoramic radiograph and computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed the presence of carotid artery calcification. A neuroradiologist interpreted CTA to determine the degree of stenosis of the internal carotid arteries. The degree of stenosis was stratified in four stages; normal (no stenosis), mild stenosis (1-49%), moderate stenosis (50-69%) and severe stenosis (70-99%). Results : Among the fifty carotid arteries with calcification detected on both panoramic radiography and CTA, 20 carotid arteries (40%) were normal, 29 carotid arteries (18%) had mild stenosis, 1 carotid artery (2%) had moderate stenosis, and there was none with severe stenosis. Conclusion : Sixty percent of the carotid arteries with calcification detected on both panoramic radiography and CTA had internal luminal stenosis, and two percent had moderate stenosis. When carotid atheroma is detected on panoramic radiograph, it is possible that the dental patient has luminal stenosis of the internal carotid artery.

  • Tortuosity of the internal carotid artery is not a rare condition. A 68-year-old woman presented with a 3 years' history of a pulsatile tinnitus and throat abnormal sensation. On physical examination, a soft pulsatile mass on the left posterior oropharyngeal wall was noted. By neck CT and neck MRI the tortuous internal carotd artery was visualized. Otolaryngologists should recognize this anomaly and the patient should be made aware of their condition, because it may cause a fatal or near-fatal hemorrhage during surgical procedures in the pharynx, especially tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy and drainage of peritonsillar abscess. We report a case of a left internal carotid artery tortuosity as an oropharyngeal mass.

  • A 37-year old man was admitted due to the left subauricular mass of 6 month duration which was 3 x 4cm sized, pulsatile and slowly growing He was suffered from the intermittent left facial and auricular pain radiating to the occipital area. The carotid angiography revealed 3x4cm sized saccular aneurysm of the left internal carotid artery just above the carotid bifurcation, extending to the mandibular angle level. He was planned to be operated under the direct clamp of internal carotid artery or shunting procedure. But, the back pressure of the internal carotid was 35mmHg, which suggested adequate cerebral collateral. Thereby, aneurysmectomy and restoration of cerebral blood flow with saphenous vein graft was done under the direct clamp of internal carotid artery for 25 minutes. Although mild transient neurologic sequelae such as mydriasis, tongue deviation for 10 days, he recovered completely without any complication. The aneurysmal sac had no thrombus and pathologic finding was compatible with congenital origin.
