Surgical Treatment of a Case of Carotid Mycotic Aneurysm
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
False aneurysm of the common carotid artery is regularly reported, but here we report a rare case of false aneurysm induced by tuberculous mycobacteria of the common carotid artery. This is a 26-year-old patient with a pulsatile left cervical lobe. The patient had a history of cervical lymphadenopathy, the biopsy of which revealed a tuberculous mycobacterium infection. The rapid increase in the size of the mass motivated the realization of an ultrasound then a cervical CTA that made it possible to make the diagnosis of a false aneurism of the common carotid artery. The patient underwent open surgery of the false aneurysm with placement of a venous patch. The postoperative course was simple.
