Raeder's syndrome is characterized by pain, ipsilateral oculosympathetic defect (ptosis and miosis), and ipsilateral trigeminal dysfunction. We report the first case of agenesis of the right internal carotid artery, which presented with a third-order postganglionic oculosympathetic paralysis and a dysfunction of the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal cranial nerve. An MRI angiography was performed and revealed a total absence of flow in the right internal carotid artery with a permeable right Sylvian artery through a well-developed right posterior communicating artery. A CT of the skull base revealed a total absence of the right carotid channel, which was consistent with a congenital absence of the right internal carotid artery.

Is there a simple and accessible solution to improve acute infarct core imaging? The utility of steady-state CT angiographic source images obtained from a delayed phase acquisition.

Background: Early identification and quantification of core infarct is of importance in stroke management for treatment selection, prognostication, and complication prediction. Non-contrast computed tomography (CT) (NCCT) remains the primary tool, but it suffers from limited sensitivity and inter-rater variability; CT perfusion is inconsistently available and commonly blighted by movement artefact. We assessed the performance of a standardised form of CT angiographic source imaging (CTASI) obtained through addition of a delayed phase at 40 seconds post-contrast injection (DP40) following fast-acquisition CT angiography.

Department of Neurology, Department of Stroke, University Hospital Cleveland Medical Center, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH.
Background And Objectives: Although previous trials have established the efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in large ischemic core strokes, most of them excluded patients with extracranial internal carotid artery (e-ICA) occlusion. We aimed to compare outcomes in patients with e-ICA occlusion and large ischemic core infarcts treated with EVT vs medical management (MM).
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the SELECT2 trial, a randomized controlled trial conducted at 31 international sites.
Alternative Complement Pathway in Carotid Atherosclerosis: Low Plasma Properdin Levels Associate With Long-Term Cardiovascular Mortality.

Research Institute of Internal Medicine, Oslo University Hospital Oslo Norway.
Background: Complement activation may promote atherosclerosis. Yet, data on the to which extent complement, and more specifically the alternative complement pathway, is activated in patients with carotid atherosclerosis and related to adverse outcome in these patients, are scarce.
Methods And Results: We measured, by ELISA, plasma levels of factor D, properdin, C3bBbP (C3 convertase), and factor H in patients with advanced carotid atherosclerosis in a (n=324) and in a (n=206) cohort in relation to adverse outcome (mean follow-up 7.
Detection of alteration in carotid artery volumetry using standard-of-care computed tomography surveillance scans following unilateral radiation therapy for early-stage tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma survivors: a cross-sectional internally-matched carotid isodose analysis.
Clin Transl Radiat Oncol
March 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Blvd, Houston, TX 77030, USA.
Aim: This study leveraged standard-of-care CT scans of patients receiving unilateral radiotherapy (RT) for early tonsillar cancer to detect volumetric changes in the carotid arteries, and determine whether there is a dose-response relationship.
Methods: Disease-free cancer survivors (>3 months since therapy and age > 18 years) treated with intensity modulated RT for early (T1-2, N0-2b) tonsillar cancer with pre- and post-therapy contrast-enhanced CT scans available were included. Patients treated with definitive surgery, bilateral RT, or additional RT before the post-RT CT scan were excluded.
Traumatic internal carotid artery aneurysm distant from facial bone fractures treated with a flow diverter stent: A case report.

Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Institute of Medicine, University of Tsukuba Hospital Tsukuba Ibaraki Japan.
Background: Traumatic intracranial aneurysms (TICAs) can be fatal if ruptured. We report a case of a TICA, distant from facial bone fractures, successfully treated with flow diverter (FD) before rupture.
Case Presentation: A 20-year-old woman was admitted following a car accident.
