Internal carotid artery-persistent primitive anterior choroidal artery aneurysms: report of two cases and literature review
Acta Neurochirurgica(2024)
摘要
Purpose Persistent primitive anterior choroidal artery (PPAChA) is a rare vascular anomaly. The clinical course of internal carotid artery (ICA)-PPAChA aneurysms has not been well described. Case reports We report two patients with an ICA-PPChA aneurysm and summarize previously reported cases. Results Including our two, a total of 10 patients with an ICA-PPAChA aneurysm have been reported. Data were not described for one. Among the remaining nine, five patients (56%) experienced aneurysmal rupture. Five patients underwent surgical clipping and four underwent endovascular coiling. The procedure was completed in all but one patient who had a tiny branch artery adherent to the aneurysm; this patient was converted from clipping to aneurysm coating with a cotton sheet. Among the other eight patients, one who underwent coiling experienced an internal capsule infarction. The remaining seven had a satisfactory postoperative course; however, an asymptomatic occlusion of the PPAChA at its origin was noted on postoperative angiography in one. Conclusion PPChA is associated with a high incidence of aneurysm formation and rupture. During treatment of ICA-PPAChA aneurysms, obstruction of the PPAChA and any surrounding perforating arteries should be avoided to prevent ischemic stroke.
