Persistent hypoglossal artery (PHA) is a relatively rare vascular anomaly of persistent carotid-basilar anastomosis. We have treated a patient with stenosis of the internal carotid artery which was combined with PHA and who presented with multiple small embolic infarcts in multiple vascular territories. It is important to know that a persistent carotid-basilar anastomosis could be one of the causes bringing about acute infarction in both the anterior and posterior vascular territories, mimicking cardioembolism.
永存舌下动脉(PHA)是一种相对罕见的持续性颈动脉 - 基底动脉吻合的血管异常。我们治疗了一名患有颈内动脉狭窄并合并PHA的患者,该患者在多个血管区域出现多发性小栓塞性梗死。重要的是要知道,持续性颈动脉 - 基底动脉吻合可能是导致前后血管区域急性梗死的原因之一,类似于心源性栓塞。
