Aneurysm of the Cervical Internal Carotid Artery Associated with Marfan's Syndrome —Case Report

Abstract

An aneurysm of the internal carotid artery associated with Marfan's syndrome occurred in a 23-year old female with a 2-year history of a pulsating lesion in the left neck, which progressively increased in size. Left carotid angiography demonstrated a giant saccular aneurysm at the origin of the internal carotid artery. The aneurysm was excised and end-to-end anastomosis performed without postopera tive morbidity. © 1992, The Japan Neurosurgical Society. All rights reserved.
