Abstract:
The elongation and widening of intracranial vessels(fusiform aneurysm, ectasia) known to be related to various etiologies often causes neurologic focal signs because of the pressure on the adjacent structures and/or impaired circulation distal to ectatic vessel. We report two cases with pupil sparing ophthalmoplegia as a manifestation of carotid artery ectasia(the second case had signs of recurrent cerebrovascular attacks due to contralateral carotid artery occlusion).
