Abstract
Internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm is rare. The authors describe a seventy-three-year-old woman whose chief complaint was a pulsatile le ft laterocervical mass, increasing in size over a five-year-period. Du plex scanning, computed tomography, and digital subtraction angiograph y disclosed a 4-cm aneurysm of the ICA. Surgical resection was perform ed, and an end-to-end anastomosis between the proximal and distal ICA was created. The patient made an uneventful recovery.
