Carotid Micromesh Stent for the Cervical Carotid Artery Dissecting Aneurysm in a Patient with Vascular Eagle Syndrome

A 38-year-old man was brought to the emergency room with sudden onset of aphasia and right hemiplegia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Fig. 1A, B) showed an occlusion in the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) and left frontal and parietal lobes infarction. Cerebral angiography (Fig. 1C) showed a cervical carotid artery (CCA) dissecting aneurysm and stenosis. The superior trunk of the left MCA was occluded. The patient underwent emergent thrombectomy. The occluded artery was partially recanalized.
