Abstract:
We present the case of a 72-year-old male with a right carotid aneurysm incidentally discovered after an ischemic stroke. After management of the stroke, stent-assisted coil embolization was performed to treat the aneurysm. Two simultaneous and early complications occurred: new ischemic strokes and branch retinal artery occlusions, respectively in the right occipital lobe and in the right eye. Treatment of unruptured carotid aneurysm using stent-assisted coil embolization can lead to severe complications involving both the brain and the retina. Multidisciplinary and close surveillance of patients should be performed to diagnose adverse effects of this endovascular treatment.
