Abstract :

 Agenesis of Internal carotid artery is a rare congenital anomaly and most often they are asymptomatic. We report a case of developmentally normal infant with recurrent left sized seizures. Evaluation revealed a hypo–plastic internal carotid artery. Patient was treated conservatively with Carbamazepine and is under regular follow up with clinically normal neurological examination. As it is a rare case and is symptomatic it is being presented. Abnormal vascular anatomy has to be carefully investigated prior to go for any endovascular surgery for ruptured coexisting aneurysm because any iatrogenic manipulation may disturb compensatory collateral circulation and induce irreversible neurological deficit. Combined use of MRI, MRA and CT scanning of base of skull and head are the necessary imaging studies to diagnose such abnormalities and anomalies
