AbstractPseudoaneurysms of extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) are rare in children. Main causes include trauma, iatrogenic causes, and neck space infection. Prompt diagnosis and management is vital, in view of life-threatening complications like fatal airway hemorrhage and stroke. Endovascular management has currently become the preferred treatment strategy due to its minimally invasive nature and lower complication rates. We report a rare case of mycotic pseudoaneurysm of extracranial ICA in a 4-year-old child as a complication of neck space infection, which was successfully managed with endovascular parent artery occlusion.

Deep Neck Infections

Internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of deep neck infections. The authors report the case of a 17-year-old male who presented to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology with an acute tonsillitis requiring tonsillectomy. Four weeks after the surgery the patient was readmitted because of progressive swallowing, trismus, and worsening headache. Computed tomography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the left internal carotid artery in the extracranial segment. A bare Wallstent was implanted primarily and a complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm was achieved. The endovascular approach is a quick and safe method for the treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid artery.
