Abstract
An unusual case of nondysplastic saccular aneurysm associated with elo ngation of the extracranial internal carotid artery is reported. The a rtery was normal except for a punch-hole defect in the media, which di stinguished it from true fibromuscular dysplasia. Although neurologic symptoms and treatment were not specific, this case is interesting in that the exact cause of the aneurysm remains unknown.
