Bilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery associated with basilar artery aneurysm treated via the endovascular route. A case report.
Bilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery is a rare anomaly of embryonic development frequently associated with intracranial aneurysm. We describe a case involving an aneurysm that burst in the third middle of the basilar artery and exhibited a bilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery. The aneurysm was treated via an endovascular route using detachable coils.
