Intradural Internal Carotid Artery Fusiform Aneurysm: A Review Of Literature

Abstract

severely limit quality of life. The neu-ropathic mechanism is related to tissue damage, paraneoplastic Abstract An aneurysm is a localized or dilation of an artery with a diameter of at least 50% higher than the average size of an artery. Intramural internal carotid artery aneurysm is likely to occur in different locations, mostly at the intersecting point of smaller vessels, and is typically saccular. However, fusiform and blister aneurysms may also occur. The multiplicity of an aneurysm is common in patients having Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) aneurysms. For this study, the population of the fusiform aneurysm did present instances of hemorrhage; other five did present dizziness without headache while four others did present ischemia deficit and single patient with abducent nerve palsy from effects of the aneurysm. Most of the studies did indicate that the condition presents with various neurological symptoms and deeply affects quality of life.
