The Arch of Aorta01:10

The Arch of Aorta

588
The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.
Encircling the heart, the coronary arteries form a ring-like structure before...

Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Congenital agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is rare. In this case, severe vertebral artery ostial (VAO) stenosis may have caused an ischemic stroke despite the absent ICA.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Neurology
  • Cerebrovascular Diseases

Background:

  • Congenital agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is a rare cerebrovascular variation.
  • Most cases are asymptomatic, with presentation as ischemic stroke being exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • An 80-year-old male presented with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
  • Imaging revealed right congenital ICA agenesis and severe right vertebral artery ostial (VAO) stenosis.
  • Common causes of AIS were excluded.

Findings:

  • The patient's AIS was attributed to severe right VAO stenosis.
  • This occurred in the context of right congenital ICA agenesis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a rare instance of posterior circulation disease causing anterior circulation infarction.
