“…3,6,9 Causes can be degenerative and atherosclerotic, post-traumatic, post-endarterectomy, arterial dysplasia or may be related to infections, irradiation or cervical surgery. 7,8 Currently, atherosclerotic etiologies are most often reported, accounting for 40 to 70% of cases. 10 These aneurysms tend to be fusiform and habitually involve the carotid bifurcation.…”

Aneurysms of the supra-aortic trunks are rare conditions that can cause peripheral neurological conditions or embolization resulting in stroke. The upper airways can even be affected and rupture is potentially fatal. We present a case of a patient with an aneurysm of the carotid bifurcation who was treated conventionally with reconstruction of the carotid bifurcation using a venous patch. Surgical treatment enabled accurate histopathological diagnosis and anatomic correction of the carotid bifurcation.

“…1 Although the etiology of these aneurysms includes connective tissue diseases, traumatisms and vasculitis, or can be congenital, they normally display histological similarities with degenerative aneurysms of the aorta. 1 A range of surgical treatment techniques have been employed, [4][5][6][7] in addition to endovascular options. 2,8…”

“…Pseudoaneurysms can be caused by trauma that punctures the artery, such as knife and bullet wounds, as a result of percutaneous surgical procedures such as coronary angiography or arterial grafting or use of an artery for injection. Causes of aneurysmal dilatation of vessels can be degenerative and atherosclerotic, post-traumatic, post-endarterectomy, arterial dysplasia or may be related to infections, irradiation or cervical surgery [2] , Currently, atherosclerosis is the most cause, accounting for 40 to 70% of cases [3] .…”
