A Case of Unilateral Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis Presenting with Chronic Isolated Dizziness: Ju Heon Lee, Seong Hae Jeong, Young Gi Lim, Joo Yeon Ham, Hye Seon Jeong, Jae Moon Kim; Res Vestib Sci. 2016;15(2):60-63. Published online June 15, 2016

Abstract PDF: It is customary that the dizziness related to cerebral perfusion might be caused by insufficient posterior circulation. The occurrence and nature of dizziness originating from anterior circulation has not been well-known. Here, we report a chronic dizzy woman presenting with severe internal carotid artery stenosis, which improved after carotid artery stenting.

Cavernous Sinus Syndrome Complicating Occlusion of the Internal Carotid Artery by Necrotizing Sinusitis: Yun Ju Choi, Jae Myung Kim, Seung Han Lee, Myeong Kyu Kim; Res Vestib Sci. 2013;12(4):145-148.

Abstract PDF: Cavernous sinus syndrome is characterized by multiple cranial nerve palsies manifesting with ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, facial sensory loss due to involvement of adjacent cranial nerves. Tumor, trauma, and non-infectious inflammatory disorders are principal causes of cavernous sinus syndrome. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is one of the fatal causes of cavernous sinus syndrome usually in immunocompromised patients. Here is a case of cavernous sinus syndrome complicating occlusion of the internal carotid artery by necrotizing fungal sinusitis, which is highly suspicious of rhinocerebral mucormycosis with non-immunocompromised state.
