Objectives Atherosclerosis is the most common etiologic factor for extracranial carotid artery aneurysm in adults, while in childhood, connective tissue diseases, peritonsillar abscess and infections are the most common. Congenital carotid artery aneurysms are rarely reported in the literature. Methods We present a 10-year-old girl with congenital extracranial left internal carotid artery aneurysm and the treatment management. Results Computed tomography angiography at six months showed that internal carotid artery segments were normal. There was no obstruction or aneurysm recurrence. Conclusions Although extracranial carotid artery aneurysms are rare, they can cause complications such as rupture and thromboembolism with high mortality and morbidity. Therefore, the treatment of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms is recommended.

Aneurysms of the extracranial portion of the internal carotid artery are rare. Generally, they occur just at the level of, or above, the bifurcation. Here we report a case of a left internal carotid artery aneurysm presenting as an oropharyngeal mass causing dysphagia.

Uncommon Disease

Extracranial carotid artery aneurysm is an uncommon disease that otorhinolaryngologists may encounter only rarely. It usually presents as pulsatile neck mass or as other neurologic symptoms. We report a case of extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm in an 81-year old female who presented with a fever and nonpulsatile oropharyngeal swelling mimicking a peritonsillar abscess. Incision and drainage of the swelling lesion could have resulted in catastrophic events such as aneurismal rupture or a stroke. We thus recommend radiologic evaluations of peritonsillar abscess before performing any procedure, even if it is clinically highly suspicious.

Abstract Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms are a rarely reported entity. Here, we describe an unusually large internal carotid artery aneurysm in a 76-year-old female, with progressive enlargement and history of thromboembolic event. She was managed successfully with an open repair and common carotid artery to internal carotid artery bypass.

Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant hereditary condition with many varied forms of clinical presentation. The most frequent cutaneous findings in tuberous sclerosis include multiple angiofibromas, hypopigmented macules, periungual fibromas and shagreen patch. It is characterized by the development of hamartomatous growths in many organs. We present a case of tuberous sclerosis with a giant left internal carotid artery aneurysm causing pulsatile proptosis, left sided ptosis, anisocoria and papillary mydriasis indicative of left third cranial nerve palsy.

In the current case report we present a novel case of a successful coil embolization of the left internal carotid artery aneurysm. Patient presented with neck pain and a palpable pulsating tumor was admitted to the vascular surgery clinic where neck Angio-CT scan was performed. Angio-CT revealed left internal carotid artery aneurysm with a narrow neck. Patient was admitted to the department of vascular surgery where the patient was enrolled into endovascular coil embolization. After the procedure, control angiography showed complete embolization of the aneurysm. Three months following the procedure, doppler ultrasonography of the carotid arteries showed no demonstrable flow into the aneurysm. Six months following the procedure, angio-CT confirmed complete aneurysm thrombosis. Based on this case, endovascular coil embolization of the carotid artery aneurysms is safe and effective method of treatment. Keywords: tumor, aneurysm, coile.
