Abstract
Aneurysm of the intrapetrous carotid artery is an extremely rare and p otentially serious occurrence that presents diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Such aneurysms may follow trauma, atherosclerosis, mast oid surgery or most commonly can represent a developmental abnormality . We present the case of an Ig-year-old female with a short history of recurrent left-sided otalgia and epistaxis who underwent successful e ndovascular balloon entrapment of a left intrapetrous carotid aneurysm .
