Abstract

Aneurysm of extracranial carotid artery which usually originated from trauma, but it can be developed by atheroscrelosis, infection and congenital vascular disease, is defined as abnormal dilatation of intimal wall of carotid artery. The proper management should not be delayed due to occurrence of high neulorogic complication. Recently the authors experienced a case of nontraumatic extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm, which was successfully resected using intraoperative EEG monitoring for the prevention of ischemic attack and was reconstructed with end to end anastomosis using nylon 9 - 0. On postoperative day #13, we could confirm well healed aneurysmal site and normal blood flow in the view of arteriography.
