Introduction. Bilateral intracavernous carotid artery aneurysms (ICAAs) are extremely rare and difficult to treat. Case Report. A 26-year-old female presented in our clinic with acute diplopia due to oculomotor nerve palsy on the left side. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed two heterogeneously enhanced masses indicating bilateral ICAA. An endovascular coil embolization was performed on the left side successfully, resulting in resolution of her symptoms. Conclusion. Thorough systemic evaluation in young patients with diplopia can reveal life-threatening underlying pathology and prevent major complications.
引言。双侧海绵窦内颈动脉瘤(ICAAs)极为罕见且治疗困难。病例报告。一名26岁女性因左侧动眼神经麻痹导致急性复视前来我院就诊。脑部磁共振成像显示两个不均匀强化的肿块,提示双侧ICAAs。成功对左侧进行了血管内线圈栓塞,症状得以缓解。结论。对患有复视的年轻患者进行全面的系统评估可发现危及生命的潜在病变并预防重大并发症。
