Bilateral glaucoma attack after flow-diverting stent placement in the left inner catorid artery in the projection of the aneurysm neck: a case report

Abstract

We report a case of the development of bilateral glaucoma after flow-diverting stent placement in the left internal carotid artery (ICA) in the projection of the aneurysm neck. The case confirms the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to the surgical treatment of patients with a supraclinoid ICA aneurysm, and may be of interest not only to ophthalmologists, but also to neurosurgeons and vascular surgeons.
