  • Title: [Extracranial aneurysms of the internal carotid artery proximal to the skull base. A case report].
    Author: Bräu H, Stockmann U.
    Journal: Nervenarzt; 1985 Oct; 56(10):570-2. PubMed ID: 4069297.
    Abstract:
    Extracranial aneurysms of the internal carotid artery are considered to be relatively rare. The main causes are constitutional vessel weakness arteriosclerosis and trauma. Neurological complications can sometimes give rise to confusing symptoms. Most important are transitory ischaemic attacks. Apart from these, damage by compression of the lower cranial and sympathetic nerves may occur. A case is reported in which the symptoms led to the topological diagnosis. The method of treatment used was that of delayed carotis ligature as described by van Dongen.
