Carotid cavum aneurysm treated with Solitaire™ AB stent. Case report.

BACKGROUND

In the cavum segment the internal carotid artery has more susceptibility formation of aneurysms. The Solitaire™ AB stent is a scaffold that do flow blood diversion and promotes the aneurysms exclusion by thrombosis.

CASE REPORT: 63 year old female present pulsatile headache, diplopia, III left cranial nerve paresis and carried a cavum carotid saccular aneurysms of the left carotid artery. By endovascular procedure, we placed a Solitaire™ AB stent. She recovered the III left cranial nerve function in to 2 month and we observed exclusion of the aneurysms by DynaCT in 3 months.

CONCLUSION

The reconstruction of an artery by endovascular therapy is an alternative treatment for no ruptured paraclinoid aneurysms.
