Carotid body tumours are rare and mostly benign neoplasm. They are slow growing but can evade or exert pressure on neighbouring important neurovascular structures. Hence, surgical resection remains the treatment modality of choice for large tumours partially or completely encasing the carotid arteries.

Carotid atherosclerotic disease is highly related to cerebrovascular events. Carotid endarterectomy is the common operation method to treat this disease. In this study, hemodynamics analyses are performed on the carotid arteries in three patients, whose right carotid artery had been treated by carotid endarterectomy and the left carotid artery remained untreated.

We report the case of a 64-year-old male with internal carotid artery (ICA)-to-external carotid artery (ECA) steal due to severe stenosis of the common carotid artery (CCA). Left CCA occlusion was initially diagnosed on 3-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography, but digital subtraction angiography revealed severe stenosis of the left CCA and retrograde flow through the left ICA feeding the left ECA. Diverted blood flow from ECA to ICA in cases with occlusion or severe stenosis of the CCA represents a well-known alternative collateral flow pattern called ECA-to-ICA steal.

Neuro-ophthalmological manifestations in moyamoya disease are usually the result of cerebrovascular involvement of the visual pathways. We report a case of ischemic optic neuropathy due to ocular hypoperfusion as a result of moyamoya disease, despite a prior internal to external carotid artery bypass with normal hemisphere perfusion. The blood supply of the optic nerve, a proposed pathogenesis of an anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and complications of the ocular ischemic syndrome are discussed.
