Wow I was diagnosed with this after months of severe headaches and a cat scan...Problem I have now is that I suffer from very high blood pressure at 32 years old and with the headaches now back I wonder what damage is being caused by only having the one carotid and what the future holds? Does anyone else suffer from any additional problems? Thanks |

I did suffer from blackouts when I was young and this nearly killed me as I passed out onto a large ceramic bowl which shattered in my back so you will need to be carefull if you are suffering from these, my high bp did not start until my mid 20's and at around 28 the doctors wanted to put me on tablets I managed not to have them for another year or so but I am on many different tablets now, This may not be the same for you or for others but I believe if they put the whole population together for which in the UK I am 0.000013 who has this condition however that ratio works out I could imagine that many would suffer from high BP and enlarged veins at the back of your head that try to compensate for the missing artery, continue to push your doctors to support you and all the best for the future, (I had to go private to get anything done for myself so this may be something your parents may want to consider) |

I have on one carotid artery. On my right side. Had a hemangioma on left side of my neck removed when I was 10 months old. Had a massive stroke as a result from doctor severing artery. I'm now 54 years old. Never had any problems, always been active and healthy. Ride a bicycle 30 miles a day 4 times a week.

My 14 year old son was diagnosed with a double fusiform aneurysm in his left carotid artery in his cavernous sinus in January of 2011 after being seen in the emergency room for severe migraines. It had been stable for a year or so but began to grow rapidly this past year. It grew 50% in 3 months and the Doctors at Johns Hopkins want to close his left carotid artery. I see that there are people on this forum who were born with only one but I am terrified of what closing off one will do to my son. They are going to do an occulusion first, see if he needs a bypass and then close it. They are informing me of risks like stroke, brain damage, death. It is all very scary and I am not telling my son any of these risks. Has anyone heard of any success in closing off one carotid? They doctors say it is rare and especially rare in a child/teenager.

My Mother recently had a scan of her brain and head (had a clot go boom behind her eyes and is at risk of stroke; managed by meds) and the doctors discovered she only has One Carotid Artery~she doesn't have one on the left. I was like "how the heck have you been living and breathing your whole life?" The doc told her she either was born with only one or ? they couldn't really explain it.
Wonder if you and my Mom are related? lol |
