Abstract
Background: Middle cerebral artery occlusions are present in up to one third of patients with acute ischemic strokes who are undergoing endovascular mechanical thrombectomy, which, especially with intravenous thrombolysis, effectively treats proximal middle cerebral artery stroke when performed promptly. However, carotid sheath placement carries risks such as pseudoaneurysm and hematoma.
Case presentation: This report describes a 73-year-old male of Iranian ethnicity with right middle cerebral artery occlusion who developed a pseudoaneurysm and cervical hematoma after carotid sheath placement during mechanical thrombectomy. Despite these complications, the patient underwent successful surgical repair and recovered fully.
Conclusion: This case emphasizes the importance of timely middle cerebral artery thrombectomy and highlights the potential complications of carotid sheath placement. It underscores the need for timely management to minimize risks and achieve optimal outcomes.
期刊介绍：
JMCR is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that will consider any original case report that expands the field of general medical knowledge. Reports should show one of the following: 1. Unreported or unusual side effects or adverse interactions involving medications 2. Unexpected or unusual presentations of a disease 3. New associations or variations in disease processes 4. Presentations, diagnoses and/or management of new and emerging diseases 5. An unexpected association between diseases or symptoms 6. An unexpected event in the course of observing or treating a patient 7. Findings that shed new light on the possible pathogenesis of a disease or an adverse effect
