This report concerns with a one year and 3 months old female infant. She was thought to have seizure attacks and right hemiparesis due to kinking of the internal carotid artery which was found by carotid angiography.
The left laternal angiogram showed a marked tortuous course of the internal carotid artery imediately above the carotid bifurcation. Pneumoencephalogram suggested severe degree of atrophy of the left cerebral hemisphere.
An operation was performed to correct the buckling of this vessel by traction and fixation to straighten its course. Postoperative course was un-eventful.
Previous convulsions disappeared with improvement of the right hemiparesis.
