BARTOLOME SANCHEZ, Alejandra et al. Symptomatic internal carotid artery aneurysm. Angiología [online]. 2020, vol.72, n.5, pp.265-268. Epub 30-Nov-2020. ISSN 1695-2987. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/angiologia.00134.
Aneurysms of the extracranial carotid artery are rare and represent a minority of the carotid surgery in most vascular units.
A clinical case of a saccular aneurism of the internal carotid artery, in a young patient without apparent cause, is showcased. They are often asymptomatic, but they also may show (as it was in this patient) stroke from distal embolisation as a debut.
The management consisted in an open surgical approach (by meaning, aneurysm excision with termino-terminal suture of the internal carotid artery, without shunt), 4 weeks after the initial episode.
