Extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm treated by combined endovascular: Microsurgical techniques

Abstract

Extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysms are rare lesions that still represent a challenge from diagnosis and treatment point of view. Giant complex aneurysms of extracranial internal carotid artery are usually completely excluded by surgical approaches. We present a case of a patient with an extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm treated by a combined treatment, along with a short review of this pathology.
