Case Reports
[Ruptured P1-2 junction aneurysm associated with bilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery].
We report a case of bilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery which was revealed by oclulomotor palsy and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Angiography showed a ruptured aneurysm of the left P1-2 junction and bilateral absence of the internal carotid artery. ⋯ Complete clipping easily compromised the middle cerebral circulation. This case suggested that STA-MCA bypass should be considered in the surgery of agenesis of the internal carotid artery in which the preoperative hemodynamic status is usually normal.
