20. Introduction
Aneurysm of extracranial carotid
artery (ECAA) is an uncommon but
important clinical entity
Incidence of intracranial carotid
artery aneurysm (0.8 – 18 %) and
ECAA is 1- 1.5 %
ECAA is less than 1 % of all carotid
pathologies
21. Definition
The accepted difinition of most
arterial aneurysm is 50 % increase
in diameter compared to the normal
diameter of artery.
But in case of carotid bifurcation
diameter should be 200 % more
than ICA / 150 % of CCA
29. Form 2010 – 2013 we have total
29 cases
Out of them 18 have surgical
reconstruction
11 have endovascular procedure
30. European journal of vascular &
endovascular surgery
From Jan 1998 to Dec 2011 ,50
consecutive interventions for ICA
aneurysmal disease was performed
3 patients developed major stroke
6 patients had cranial nerve injuries
3 patients had Thrombosis
Conclusion; surgical treatment
provided satisfactory early & long
term result,selected patients with
non infected aneurysm endovascular
option seems to be feasile
