Abstract

Carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms, though comprising only 4% of cerebral aneurysms, can lead to progressive visual deterioration by compressing the visual pathways, and early intervention is essential to prevent permanent vision loss. When suspected, urgent angiographic imaging should be requested. This report highlights an uncommon but treatable cause of progressive visual impairment due to optic nerve compression by a carotid aneurysm.

Keywords:
Paraophthalmic carotid aneurysm
Compressive optic neuropathy
Progressive vision loss
Resumen

Los aneurismas carotídeo-oftálmicos, aunque solo representan el 4% de los aneurismas cerebrales, pueden provocar un deterioro visual progresivo al comprimir las vías visuales, y la intervención temprana es esencial para prevenir la pérdida permanente de la visión. Cuando se sospeche, debe solicitarse una prueba de imagen angiográfica urgente. Este informe destaca una causa poco común pero tratable de deterioro visual progresivo debido a la compresión del nervio óptico por un aneurisma carotídeo.

Palabras clave:
Aneurisma carotídeo paraoftálmico
