A nonbifurcating cervical carotid artery with a remnant of the proximal internal carotid artery that mimicked an aneurysm on magnetic resonance angiography
Abstract:PurposeTo describe a case of a nonbifurcating cervical carotid artery with remnant of the proximal internal carotid artery (ICA).
MethodsA 47-year-old man with unruptured cerebral aneurysm underwent magnetic resonance (MR) angiography of the neck region and intracranial region. The MR machine was a 3-T scanner. Catheter angiography was performed for the treatment of the aneurysm by coil embolization.
ResultsThe proximal main trunk of the left external carotid artery (ECA) was absent, and branches arose separat… Show more
