Abstract
Mycotic aneurysms of the extracranial carotid artery are rare lesions. We describe a case of mycotic extracranial carotid aneurysms developing after a parapharyngeal space infection in a 65-year-old-man. The patient had a high fever because of tonsillitis, and it spread to the parapharyngeal space. After the inflammation had passed, a pulsatile mass appeared around the pharynx. Extracranial aneurysms are diagnosed by MRI and DSA (angiography), and are treated with intravascular techniques using mechanical detachable coil (MDC).
