The graft kinking of high-flow bypass for internal carotid artery aneurysm due to elongated styloid process: a case report

Br J Neurosurg. 2014 Aug;28(4):539-40. doi: 10.3109/02688697.2013.865707. Epub 2013 Dec 5.

Abstract

Elongated styloid process is an often-caused symptom due to the compression of neighboring structures. We present a case of a graft kink of high-flow bypass due to an elongated styloid process and describe the technical pitfalls encountered when creating a graft route from the standpoint of the anatomical site.

Keywords: aneurysm; elongated styloid process; high flow bypass.
