We describe a case of acute middle cerebral artery occlusion in a patient with ipsilateral internal carotid artery dysgenesis successfully treated with mechanical thrombectomy utilising a collateral pathway. During the procedure, a triaxial system using a balloon guiding catheter, flexible large lumen aspiration catheter and stent retriever was advanced from the left vertebral artery to the occluded left middle cerebral artery through the left posterior communicating artery. Because proximal aspiration from the balloon guiding catheter alone might have insufficient suction force due to the retrograde blood flow from large vascular communications (e.g. vertebral artery union), the tip of the flexible large lumen aspiration catheter was set at the proximal left middle cerebral artery, and distal aspiration was added during stent retrieval. A thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2b result was achieved after the first pass. In this case, identification of carotid canal hypoplasia on computed tomography allowed for an immediate attempt of this alternative approach, avoiding a delay in the time to reperfusion.

Radiation vasculopathy is one of the rare causes of ischemic stroke. Carotid stenosis with large volume infarction may occur years after radiation therapy for head or neck cancer. We report a case of a patient with bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion presenting with left middle cerebral artery infarct 10 years after receiving treatment for tongue cancer. A literature review and discussion of treatment for such patients are presented.

We describe the case of an 86-year-old Japanese man who, by luxury perfusion after spontaneous recanalization of the left middle cerebral artery/internal carotid artery, produced acute transient sensory aphasia. This rare phenomenon is thought to be caused by reperfusion brain injury.

Temporary Occlusion

✓ Balloon test occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is useful in preoperatively assessing the risk of temporary occlusion or permanent sacrifice of the carotid artery. The incidence of symptomatic complications from this procedure is 1.7%. The case is reported of a 57-year-old woman in whom a balloon test occlusion of the left ICA was attempted. She developed a left ICA dissection/occlusion with subsequent embolization to the left middle cerebral artery, leading to right-sided hemiplegia and expressive aphasia. She was successfully treated by an emergency embolectomy followed by surgical repair of the left ICA, with an excellent outcome. This case represents the most serious complication encountered by the authors in more than 300 balloon test occlusions. Means of avoiding this complication during balloon test occlusion as well as the important factors in managing this problem are emphasized.
