Presentation
CONCLUSION: The present case indicates that an intrasellar ICA aneurysm can be misdiagnosed as a macroadenoma and even present through pituitary apoplexy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Coronary Atherosclerosis
Restenosis rates between 24% and 38% have been reported in studies using Jomed coronary stent grafts in cases of coronary atherosclerosis, which is not different from the restenosis rates of regular bare stent placement. [ajnr.org]
- Malnutrition
A 66-year-old man presented with a rare case of a giant aneurysm of the internal carotid artery manifesting as difficulty in swallowing, resulting in severe malnutrition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Episodic Pain
During the four months before admission, the painful episodes were occasionally accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and syncope. The episodes of syncope recurred about twice a month. She had no hypertension or diabetes. [jnnp.bmj.com]
Cardiovascular
- Vascular Disease
Systemic examinations must be performed in patients with PSA in order to scrutinize associated anomalies or vascular disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Carotid Bruit
Examination may reveal neurological deficits, Horner's syndrome (half of cases), hemiparesis, carotid bruit. [patient.info]
Eyes
- Progressive Loss of Vision
The patient was a 68-year-old woman with progressive loss of vision in her left eye. After a diagnosis of left giant ICA aneurysm, she underwent successful trapping with high-flow bypass. No new neurologic deficits were observed after surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Ears
- Pulsatile Tinnitus
The symptoms associated with lateral extension of the petrous aneurysm into the tympanic cavity include dizziness, hearing loss, vertigo and pulsatile tinnitus ( 13 ). [spandidos-publications.com]
tinnitus or lower cranial nerve dysfunction due to dissection-related mass effect. [neuroangio.org]
Face, Head & Neck
- Neck Mass
The clinical presentation may be an asymptomatic neck mass or there may be symptoms of upper aerodigestive tract compression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patient and observation A 76-year-old woman with no history of cerebrovascular symptoms or cervical trauma was admitted to our hospital with a pulsatile left neck mass for five months before referral. [panafrican-med-journal.com]
In physical examination 90% of cases possess pulsatile mass around neck region ( 3, 6, 12 )(Table 2). [ispub.com]
Neurologic
- Encephalopathy
The patient was therefore diagnosed with contrast-induced encephalopathy after coil embolization. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
When treating intrasellar masses with the slightest suspicion of a nonpituitary origin, further workup should be considered. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Serum
- Hyperprolactinemia
Sellar and parasellar masses blocking inhibitory hypothalamic dopaminergic tonus can produce hyperprolactinemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
RESULTS: In the literature, factors linked to poorer outcome were age, vascular risk factors, initial ONP severity and delay before treatment; better recovery was associated with surgical treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Detailed neurologic examinations were performed before treatment, immediately after treatment, 2 weeks after treatment, and later during follow-up. [ajnr.org]
Prognosis
BACKGROUND: Aneurysms at the posterior face of the internal carotid artery can lead to oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP) with an uncertain prognosis of recovery post-treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Older patients and those with poorer Hunt and Hess grades on admission have a poor prognosis. [en.wikipedia.org]

Etiology
This is the first case that describes mutual contribution of cystic medial degeneration and ICA kinking in carotid aneurysm disease etiology successfully treated by aneurysm resection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology and Epidemiology Most common etiological factor for AEICA is atherosclerosis with an incidence of 34 to 70% in different series. [ispub.com]
Conclusion: Epistaxis related to internal carotid artery aneurysm is quite rare but it is important to consider aneurysms in the etiology of epistaxis. Which may be fatal if the cause of nasal bleeding cannot be identified. [omicsonline.org]

Pathophysiology
In contrast, the pathophysiological mechanisms and natural course of ECAA are largely unknown. Understanding the pathophysiological background may add to prediction of risk for adverse outcome and need for surgical exclusion. [journals.plos.org]

Prevention
Coil embolization of the aneurysm and parent artery occlusion for the posttraumatic direct CCF was a good option to manage the abducens nerve palsy and to prevent postoperative hyperperfusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although stent-assisted coil embolization alone is an effective approach for treating BBAs, it is insufficient to prevent BBA regrowth. In contrast, stent-within-a-stent and covered stenting are effective at preventing rebleeding and BBA regrowth. [medsci.org]
