Persistent vestige of dorsal ophthalmic artery: a case report

Nitin Agarwal et al. J Neurointerv Surg. 2013 Jul.

Abstract

A rare case of a persistent dorsal ophthalmic artery is reported. An elderly woman presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage and hydrocephalus. A CT angiogram revealed findings consistent with a small aneurysm and the presence of a dorsal ophthalmic artery. This was confirmed with catheter diagnostic angiography. The radiological findings, embryology and anatomy of these dual ophthalmic arteries are discussed.

Keywords: Dual ophthalmic arteries; angiography; artery; balloon; bioactive; blood flow; dorsal ophthalmic artery; navigation; spine; subarachnoid; thrombectomy; vasculitis.
