AI Article Synopsis
- - The study discusses a unique case of a patient with a rare variation of the ophthalmic artery, originating from the anterior inferior cerebellar artery rather than its usual location.
- - The patient also had a history of Moyamoya disease, and imaging showed additional complications, including a fusiform aneurysm and vasculitis, as well as a middle meningeal artery branching from the ophthalmic artery.
- - The report aims to contribute to the limited existing literature on ophthalmic artery anatomical variations, highlighting the significance of this rare case.
Article Abstract
Purpose: The variations of origin of ophthalmic artery are extremely rare. Here, we aimed to present a patient had a rare variation of the ophthalmic artery.
Clinical Presentation: The patient had a history of Moyamoya disease. The imaging studies revealed ophthalmic artery origination from basillar artery. In addition, M1-segment fusiform aneurysm, vasculitis and, as a variation, middle meningeal artery originating from the ophthalmic artery were also detected. We presented this case report as it is the first case with ophthalmic artery originating from anterior inferior cerebellar artery.
Conclusion: In our case we reported, M1 segment fusiform aneurysm, vasculitis, and as a variation, middle meningeal artery originating from the ophthalmic artery and anterior inferior cerebellar artery as ophthalmic artery origin and hereby present it for inclusion into the literature. Ophthalmic artery anatomical abnormalities occupies so little place in existing literature when nominating rare variations. Ophtalmic artery originating from anterior inferior cerebellar artery firstly defined as an ophthalmic artery variation including its way-out branch structures.

We report a rare case of a missed intracavernous internal carotid artery dissecting aneurysm occurring as a complication of the base of skull fracture with severe brain injury causing acute cavernous sinus syndrome with permanent vision loss. A 31-year-old Myanmar lady had an alleged motor vehicle accident and suffered severe traumatic brain injury with multiple intracranial bleeds, multiple facial bone and base of skull fractures, and limb fractures. At one week post-trauma, she had severe right eye proptosis with vision loss, ophthalmoplegia, chemosis, and high intraocular pressure.

Cardiac-Urogenital Syndrome (CUGS) is a recently identified genetic disease characterized by urogenital, diaphragmatic, ophthalmic, and cardiac abnormalities caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants in the Myelin Regulatory Factor (MYRF) gene. The complete spectrum of disease characteristics and prevalence is not yet defined. This report documents the first known cases of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) in MYRF-associated Cardiac-Urogenital Syndrome (MYRF-CUGS).

Traumatic direct type carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is an acquired arteriovenous shunt between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus post severe craniofacial trauma or iatrogenic injury. We reported a 46-year-old woman who had developed a traumatic direct type CCF after severe head trauma with a skull base fracture and brain contusion hemorrhage. The clinical manifestations of the patient included pulsatile exophthalmos, proptosis, bruits, chemosis, and a decline in consciousness.
