Resumen

CANO TRIGUEROS, Emiliano  y  DIAZ SERRANO, Romina. Symptomatic loop and extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm. Rev Cubana Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.2. ISSN 1682-0037.

The internal carotid artery aneurysms are an infrequent condition of great importance because of their potential complications such as embolization, rupture, and compression of adjacent structures and others. The rare association of aneurysms with the 360o loop of the internal carotid artery at that level increases the risk of strokes and therefore, their specific treatment is required. This is a 71 years-old female patient who presented with symptomatic loop and secular aneurysm in the internal carotid artery, which had been operated on. Dissection and resection of the carotid aneurysm and loop was made using termino-terminal anastomosis of the internal carotid artery. There were no complications. She was discharged from hospital with an oral anti-aggregate treatment and after three years, she remains asymptomatic.

Palabras clave : carotid; aneurysm; internal carotid artery; carotid loop; surgical treatment.
