Giant Aneurysm of the Extracranial Carotid Artery: Case Report
AbstractWe report a case of giant extracranial carotid aneurysm treated by carotid aneurysmectomy. A 70-year-old female was referred with a palpable swelling on left lateral region of the neck, associated with dizziness and dysarthria. Spiral-CT scan showed a 5-cm aneurysm of the internal carotid artery (ICA), kinking of ICA and increased flow in the right vertebral artery. Angiography showed, a fusiform ICA aneurysm, with lengthening and tortuosity of intracranial vessels. An aneurysmectomy was performed with end-to-end repair of ICA. The patient was discharged on the 12 post-operative day. Twelve months after the operation, the patient showed a complete recovery from the neurological deficit and patency of ICA. We recommend surgical treatment in order to avoid rupture, thromboembolism and cerebrovascular insufficiency
