Description
Cigdem Tel Ustunisik and co-authors present a 2026 case report of open surgery for a rare neck artery aneurysm. Such bulges in the carotid artery outside the skull are rare and can sit silent or press on near parts. Risks run from nerve crush to burst and clots that fly to the brain.
Their patient was a woman of seventy six with vision trouble and a lump on the left side of her neck. Scans showed a two centimeter bulge that looped in the inner carotid artery. Surgeons cut the bulge out and joined the artery end to end with no graft. Her recovery ran smooth. The authors back open repair for tangled cases where tube based fixes cannot go.
