Bilateral absence of the internal carotid artery with sellar enlargement due to anomalous vascularity. 1981

D C Beresini, and G B Hieshima, and C M Mehringer, and V S Grinnell

A unique case is described in which a patient with a primary cerebral neoplasm was found to have bilateral aplasia of the internal carotid artery that presented with an eroded sella turcica mimicking an intrasellar mass. The embryologic origin of this anomaly is discussed, and the literature is reviewed.

D001932	Brain Neoplasms	Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
