[Mycotic aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery]

Item does not contain fulltextExtracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm is rare. They usually appear as an enlarging pulsatile neck mass with associated tenderness and fever. The diagnosis is difficult and can lead to significant medical morbidity. Treatment of these lesions requires expert surgical management and necessitates an assiduous search for an underlying source. We report a case of a mycotic aneurysm of the extracranial carotid artery in an immunosuppressed patient successfully treated by wide excision and saphenous vein patch angioplasty

Adventitial cystic disease of the popliteal artery communicating with the knee joint. A case report.

We describe the case of a patient with adventitial cystic disease of the popliteal artery in which a direct anatomic communication between the cysts and the nearby knee joint was demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed by surgery. This unusual observation could shed some light on the much debated question of the cause, the pathogenesis, and the management of the affection. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance and the role of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of adventitial cystic disease of the popliteal artery.Case ReportsJournal ArticleSCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
