Congenital internal carotid artery hypoplasia is a rare condition characterized by underdevelopment or reduced caliber of the internal carotid artery during embryonic development. This anomaly presents significant challenges in management, particularly in neurosurgical interventions for cerebrovascular events. We present a case report of a 67-year-old male who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraparenchymal hemorrhage extending as intraventricular hemorrhage due to a ruptured left true posterior communicating artery aneurysm, associated with intraoperative findings of left internal carotid artery aneurysm, accompanied by incidental findings of bilateral congenital hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery on computed tomography angiography. Surgical intervention involved a left frontotemporal craniotomy, during which both aneurysms were successfully clipped. This case underscores the critical importance of meticulous preoperative evaluation, utilizing advanced neuroimaging modalities to identify such anomalies, particularly in patients with acute cerebrovascular events. Furthermore, it emphasizes the necessity for meticulous surgical planning and intraoperative vigilance to effectively manage associated vascular pathologies.
先天性颈内动脉发育不全是一种罕见的病症,其特征是在胚胎发育过程中颈内动脉发育不良或管径变细。这种异常在治疗中带来了重大挑战,尤其是在针对脑血管事件的神经外科干预中。我们报告一例67岁男性病例,该患者因左侧真性后交通动脉瘤破裂出现蛛网膜下腔出血和脑实质内出血并扩展至脑室内出血,术中发现左侧颈内动脉瘤,同时计算机断层血管造影偶然发现双侧颈内动脉先天性发育不全。手术干预采用左侧额颞开颅术,术中成功夹闭了两个动脉瘤。该病例强调了术前细致评估的至关重要性,利用先进的神经影像学手段识别此类异常,特别是在急性脑血管事件患者中。此外,它还强调了精心的手术规划和术中警惕性对于有效处理相关血管病变的必要性。
