Abstract
We present two NPC patients with a postirradiated pseudoaneurysm involving the petrous segment of the internal carotid artery. As direct parent vessel occlusion was infeasible, we established an emergency high-flow extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass followed by endovascular parent vessel occlusion. Both of the patients were followed-up for more than 24â¯months without neurological deficit or rebleeding. We suggest that EC-IC bypass with parent vessel occlusion should be considered as a practical and durable treatment option for patients with postirradiated ICA pseudoaneurysms who cannot tolerate direct carotid occlusion.
