Extracranial Internal Carotid Aneurysm Treated with a Covered Stent in an Infant.
International Journal of Neuroscience 2023 October 29
Extracranial internal carotid aneurysms consist a rare pathology with an overall incidence less than 1% in the general population, and warrant treatment due to their association with cerebrovascular events and neurological complications. The incidence is even lower in the pediatric population. A 14-month infant presented in our clinic with neck swelling of unknown origin, with subsequent MR imaging revealing an extracranial internal carotid aneurysm. Due to the patient's age and risk of surgical complications, the decision to proceed with endovascular repair with stent placement and complete exclusion of the aneurysm from the circulation was made, after multidisciplinary consultation. In the pediatric population, pediatric population, endovascular stent placement can be considered at least as a last resort treatment when surgical access harbors significant risks or is impossible.
