Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 , I am not even sure this is possible, but I keep thinking of the ika sound and all I can come up with is ICA, internal carotid artery. The other thing ICA stands for is intracranial aneurysm. I am wondering if there is some redundant internal carotid which is looping and causing pressure, thus a vessel loop of ICA. Just a thought, Margaret >>> ~~ 03/07/01 10:04PM >>> I'm not sure about what I'm hearing, but I've tried this two ways and even googled it with no luck. This patient has severe trigeminal neuralgia. Doc says his MRI does not show direct compression of the nerve by the basilar artery, so this is most likely a s/l " vessel loop of ika. " I have looked this up as well as the word as a whole, spelling it " vesilupovika. " I am at a loss.... Thanks!
