Abstract

Extracranial aneurysms of the carotid artery in childhood are rare, and we found just nine cases described in the literature within the last 20 years. We report on the clinical appearance, diagnosis, and therapy of a carotid artery aneurysm in a 12-year-old girl and review the literature.
