The cavernous segment, or C4, of the internal carotid artery begins at the petrolingual ligament and extends to the proximal dural ring, which is formed by the medial and inferior periosteum of the anterior clinoid process. The cavernous segment is surrounded by the cavernous sinus.
ICD-10 code I72. 0 for Aneurysm of carotid artery is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
The CCA is a unique aneurysmal lesion because rupture can present in many different forms, namely rupture into the subarachnoid space, into the cavernous sinus proper, and into the surrounding sphenoid sinuses. The risk of CCA rupture is thought to be dependent on multiple factors, most commonly aneurysm size.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I77. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I77.
The internal carotid artery arises (originates) from the common carotid artery in the neck between the C3 and C5 level and supplies blood to the brain. The artery terminates in the brain by dividing into the anterior and middle cerebral arteries. The majority of the internal carotid artery is precerebral.

Bilateral cavernous carotid aneurysms (CCAs) represent a rare medical condition that can mimic other disorders. We present a rare case of bilateral CCAs simulating an ocular myasthenia.
A cavernoma is a cluster of abnormal blood vessels, usually found in the brain and spinal cord. They're sometimes known as cavernous angiomas, cavernous hemangiomas, or cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM). A typical cavernoma looks like a raspberry.
Medially, the cavernous sinus is related to the pituitary gland and the sphenoid sinus. Laterally, it is related to the temporal lobe of the brain. The internal carotid artery and the abducens nerve pass through the cavernous sinus.
Indirect carotid-cavernous fistulas are connections between the cavernous sinus and meningeal branches of the external carotid, internal carotid or a combination of both. Indirect carotid-cavernous fistulas most commonly occur spontaneously.
Z99. 2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Carotid cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are a rare but potentially devastating cause of orbital symptoms, visual loss and periocular disfigurement. CCF patients typically present with proptosis, elevated intraocular pressure, prominent tortuous conjunctival vessels and sometimes headache.
The internal carotid arteries (ICA) and their major branches are referred to as internal carotid system. Anatomically the ICA is divided into extracranial and intracranial parts. The intracranial part is further subdivided into petrous, cavernous, and cerebral parts [1,2].
temporal boneThe petrous segment, or C2, of the internal carotid is that which is inside the petrous part of the temporal bone. This segment extends until the foramen lacerum. The petrous portion classically has three sections: an ascending, or vertical portion; the genu, or bend; and the horizontal portion.
The ICA enters the skull base through the carotid canal within the petrous portion of the temporal bone and ascends within the cavernous sinus. It crosses the anterior clinoid process and bifurcates into the ACA and middle cerebral artery (MCA).
The anterior choroidal artery is the preterminal branch of the communicating segment (C7) of the internal carotid artery. It supplies several subcortical structures (limbic system, basal ganglia, diencephalon), midbrain, temporal lobe and visual pathway.
