Abstract
We report on a 55-year-old male with an internal carotid artery aneury sm at the level of the second cervical vertebra. Since anti-coagulatio n therapy failed to prevent the ischemic attack, aneurysmectomy with a rterial reconstruction was performed. Vertical mandibular osteotomy al lowed a wide working space in deep operative field This technique is c onsidered to be useful in surgery for aneurysms of the extracranial di stal internal carotid artery.
