This article reports on head-and-neck computed tomography angiography imaging findings and data of ultrasound examination of the extracranial carotid and vertebral arteries of 69-year-old patient with unilateral asymptomatic complete occlusion of extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) in combination with unusually elongated styloid processes of temporal bone. The aim of the study was to specify the collateral pathways blood supply to the brain and to assess the possible clinical significance of an abnormally elongated styloid pro cess. Adequate cerebral blood flow was provided by anastomoses between the arteries at the base of the brain. This can explain the asymptomatic unilateral complete occlusion of the extracranial ICA. Occlusion of the artery was  not associated with the presence of a 5.5 cm styloid process.  Computed tomography angiography is a highly informative method for visualizing the individual morphological variants to clarify their clinical significance.

Deep Neck Infections

Internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of deep neck infections. The authors report the case of a 17-year-old male who presented to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology with an acute tonsillitis requiring tonsillectomy. Four weeks after the surgery the patient was readmitted because of progressive swallowing, trismus, and worsening headache. Computed tomography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the left internal carotid artery in the extracranial segment. A bare Wallstent was implanted primarily and a complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm was achieved. The endovascular approach is a quick and safe method for the treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid artery.

AbstractChondrosarcomas are one of the major malignant neoplasms which occur at the skull base. These tumors are locally invasive. Gross total resection of chondrosarcomas is associated with longer progression-free survival rates. The patient is a 55-year-old man with a history of dysphagia, left eye dryness, hearing loss, and left-sided facial pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a giant heterogeneously enhancing left-sided skull base mass within the cavernous sinus and the petrous apex with extension into the sphenoid bone, clivus, and the cerebellopontine angle, with associated displacement of the brainstem (Fig. 1). An endoscopic endonasal biopsy revealed a grade-II chondrosarcoma. The patient was then referred for surgical resection. Computed tomography (CT) scan and CT angiogram of the head and neck showed a left-sided skull base mass, partial destruction of the petrous apex, and complete or near-complete occlusion of the left internal carotid artery. Digital subtraction angiography confirmed complete occlusion of the left internal carotid artery with cortical, vertebrobasilar, and leptomeningeal collateral development. The decision was made to proceed with a left-sided transcavernous approach with possible petrous apex drilling. During surgery, minimal petrous apex drilling was necessary due to autopetrosectomy by the tumor. Endoscopy was used to assist achieving gross total resection (Fig. 2). Surgery and postoperative course were uneventful. MRI confirmed gross total resection of the tumor. The histopathology was a grade-II chondrosarcoma. The patient received proton therapy and continues to do well without recurrence at 4-year follow-up. This video demonstrates steps of the combined microsurgical skull base approaches for resection of these challenging tumors.The link to the video can be found at: https://youtu.be/WlmCP_-i57s.

Abstract A case of progressive hydrocephalus as a complication of spontaneous cervical internal carotid artery occlusion in a child is presented. This problem has not been reported previously. The diagnosis and management of this condition are greatly facilitated by computed tomographic scanning.
