ABSTRACT

Objective: to report 2 cases of spontaneous carotid dissection (SCD) that presented a pseudoaneurysm as a complication. Description: we report a case of a 47 year old patient with headache and Horner syndrome. The digital angiography (DA) showed a SCD. That was followed by a pseudoaneurysm. A 46 year old patient presented with a right amaurosis fugax and left hemiparesis. A SCD was diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography. It presented with a pseudoaneurysm. Intervention: both pseudoaneurysm were treated with stents. Conclusion: DA is the method of choice for the diagnosis and evolutive dynamic control of SCD. Stents are useful pseudoaneurysm resolution
