Introduction: Venous aneurysms are not as common as their arterial counterpart. The choice of management is debatable. Case Report: We present the case of a teenage boy with left external jugular vein aneurysm treated by endovascular technique. Embolisation was done using pushable microcoils with access via the femoral vein and direct puncture. Conclusion: This form of treatment provides a less-invasive option with a more concrete evaluation of the venous abnormality and its drainage during venous aneurysm occlusion.
Vertebrobasilar Dolichoectasia (VBD) is a condition characterized by abnormal elongation, dilatation and tortuosity of the vertebrobasilar system. It is usually asymptomatic but rarely, it can present with cranial nerve compression symptoms. We present a case of simultaneous trigeminal neuralgia and hypoglossal nerve palsy due to compression by VBD. Neuroimaging plays an important role in diagnosing this condition so that further treatment can be provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
