Background: Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECAAs) are rare, and treatment guidelines are lacking. Few reports on endovascular treatments performed for ECAAs exist.
Observations: A 73-year-old woman with a left giant cervical internal carotid artery aneurysm was treated with overlapping closed-cell stents.
Introduction: In facial motor-evoked potential monitoring, efforts to reduce peripheral stimulation are necessary because it can cause false-negatives. The effects of peripheral stimulation on Cz-C3/C4 and C3-C4 montages were compared.
Methods: Facial motor-evoked potentials were recorded from bilateral orbicularis oculi (Oculi) and oris (Oris) muscles.
We report a case in which neointima was confirmed by angioscopy and antiplatelet drug administration was reduced 2 months after carotid artery stenting (CAS). A patient in their 80s was scheduled to undergo resection for renal cancer; however, he also had right cervical internal carotid artery stenosis. Because this was a risk for general anesthesia, CAS was performed after first starting dual antiplatelet therapy.

Herein, the authors report a rare case of cerebral vasospasm after coil embolization for unruptured cerebral aneurysm.
Observations: A 58-year-old woman with an unruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm was referred to our department.
Background: Transvenous embolization (TVE) for dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is difficult depending on an accessible route. Reported herein is a case of transvenous embolization using a balloon and a coil as "walls." .

Case Presentation: Case 1: An 80-year-old woman presented with abducens nerve palsy due to an internal carotid artery aneurysm. Case 2: A 75-year-old man presented with a partially thrombosed fusiform aneurysm in the vertebral artery (VA).
