Giant cavernous carotid aneurysms are rare pathologic entities that are typically benign and are considered less life-threatening due to the low risk of rupture of bleeding. They present with clinical features usually due to localized mass effects on adjacent neural structures, mainly the III, IV, V, and VI cranial nerves. There are various treatment options, including occlusion of the feeding vessel, immediate surgery on the aneurysm, bypass procedures, and use of endovascular devices. We present a case of a 36-year-old male presented to the emergency department with 5 days history of right retro-orbital pain and diplopia. The patient's imaging workup revealed a right giant cavernous carotid aneurysm. Along with the conventional symptoms, physical examination revealed sinus bradycardia. Internal carotid artery occlusion was performed, and his symptoms gradually resolved.
巨大海绵窦段颈动脉瘤是罕见的病理实体,通常为良性,由于出血破裂风险低,被认为对生命威胁较小。它们通常因对相邻神经结构(主要是第III、IV、V和VI颅神经)的局部占位效应而出现临床特征。有多种治疗选择,包括闭塞供血血管、立即对动脉瘤进行手术、搭桥手术以及使用血管内装置。我们报告一例36岁男性患者,因右侧眶后疼痛和复视5天就诊于急诊科。患者的影像学检查显示右侧巨大海绵窦段颈动脉瘤。除了传统症状外,体格检查发现窦性心动过缓。进行了颈内动脉闭塞术,其症状逐渐缓解。
