Abstract

Extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysms are rare manifestations1,2 but have the potential for a fatal complication as result of embolization, rupture, and local compression.
We describe a 62-year-old obese woman with a history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and moderate mitral and aortic valve regurgitation. She had sustained a stroke 4 years earlier that had completely resolved. She presented in our hospital with a pulsating cervical mass.
