Abstract
Purpose. To demonstrate a rare case of aplasia of both internal carotid arteries (ICA) has not been published in the Russian literature before. Materials and methods. The clinical case of 27-year-old patient with aplasia of both ICA without neurological deficit is presented. Results. The diagnosis of both ICAs dysplasia is carried out by cerebral angiography and CT scan of the carotid canal of the temporal bone, where the canal is absent or reduced. ICA dysplasia in most cases is asymptomatic due to collateral flow through the circle of Willis (most often), through anastomoses with the external carotid artery or through the embryonic vessels. Conclusion. The dysplasia of ICA is characterized by a high incidence of cerebral aneurysms. The follow-up for such patients seems reasonable to prevent aneurysmal hemorrhage or ischemic stroke.
