“…It is recommended that the physical therapist follows local policy in referring for further investigation. Conventionally, duplex ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging/arteriography, and computed tomography are used in the work-up (Cury et al 2009;Jones et al 2010). Being non-invasive and cheaper, duplex ultrasound is often considered first.…”

International framework for examination of the cervical region for potential of Cervical Arterial Dysfunction prior to Orthopaedic Manual Therapy intervention

et al. 2014

A consensus clinical reasoning framework for best practice for the examination of the cervical spine region has been developed through an iterative consultative process with experts and manual physical therapy organisations. The framework was approved by the 22 member countries of the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists (October 2012). The purpose of the framework is to provide guidance to clinicians for the assessment of the cervical region for potential of Cervical Arterial Dysfunction in advance of planned management (inclusive of manual therapy and exercise interventions). The best, most recent scientific evidence is combined with international expert opinion, and is presented with the intention to be informative, but not prescriptive; and therefore as an aid to the clinician's clinical reasoning. Important underlying principles of the framework are that 1] although presentations and adverse events of Cervical Arterial Dysfunction are rare, it is a potentially serious condition and needs to be considered in musculoskeletal assessment; 2] manual therapists cannot rely on the results of one clinical test to draw conclusions as to the presence or risk of Cervical Arterial Dysfunction; and 3] a clinically reasoned understanding of the patient's presentation, including a risk:benefit analysis, following an informed, planned and individualised assessment, is essential for recognition of this condition and for safe manual therapy practice in the cervical region. Clinicians should also be cognisant of jurisdictionally specific requirements and obligations, particularly related to patient informed consent, when intending to use manual therapy in the cervical region.

“…However, several authors diagnosed trauma or tonsillectomy surgeries as important antecedents, that may be related to changes in both extracranial ICA and external carotid artery or its branches 2,4 . Although it is a rare complication of this surgery, the large number of procedures performed in the world should be taken into account, which could contribute to a sample of some relevance.…”

“…Aneurysms in this segment of the carotid artery are rare, accounting for less than 4% of the peripheral ones and, due to this fact, it is difficult to establish a natural history of the disease 1,2 . Clinically, it is presented as a palpable and a pulsatile mass in the neck about the mandibular angle 3,4 .…”

Aneurisma da artéria carótida interna

Extracranial internal carotid artery aneuriysms (EICAA) are rare. There are few reports in the medical literature about its etiology, relating these aneurysms to atherosclerosis, arteritis and alterations due to trauma or after surgical procedure. The natural history of the disease has not been well-defined yet. However, the potential risk of embolism originating from the aneurysm -or even its rupture -indicates a need for intervention. We present the case of a seventy-one year old woman, who was diagnosed an aneurysm of three cm diameter of the right EICA, with throbbing headache complaints. After an unsuccessful attempt of endovascular treatment, we performed a surgical procedure with aneurysmectomy and primary end-to-end anastomosis near the skull base.Keywords: aneurysm; internal carotid artery; surgery. ResumoOs aneurismas de artéria carótida interna (ACI) extracraniana são raros. Há poucos relatos na literatura médica quanto à sua etiologia, relacionando-os à doença aterosclerótica, às arterites e alterações decorrentes do trauma ou após procedimento cirúrgico. A história natural da doença ainda não está bem estabelecida. Entretanto, o potencial risco de embolia originário do aneurisma ou mesmo de sua ruptura indica necessidade de intervenção. Apresentamos o relato de caso de uma mulher de 71 anos diagnosticada com aneurisma de 3 cm de diâmetro da ACI extracraniana direita com queixas de cefaleia pulsátil. Após tentativa sem sucesso de tratamento endovascular, optou-se pelo tratamento cirúrgico com aneurismectomia e anastomose primária término-terminal próximo à base do crânio.Palavras-chave: aneurisma; artéria carótida interna; cirurgia.

“…1 Although the etiology of these aneurysms includes connective tissue diseases, traumatisms and vasculitis, or can be congenital, they normally display histological similarities with degenerative aneurysms of the aorta. 1 A range of surgical treatment techniques have been employed, [4][5][6][7] in addition to endovascular options. 2,8…”

Aneurysms of the supra-aortic trunks are rare conditions that can cause peripheral neurological conditions or embolization resulting in stroke. The upper airways can even be affected and rupture is potentially fatal. We present a case of a patient with an aneurysm of the carotid bifurcation who was treated conventionally with reconstruction of the carotid bifurcation using a venous patch. Surgical treatment enabled accurate histopathological diagnosis and anatomic correction of the carotid bifurcation.
