Abstract

Mycotic aneurysms of the extracranial carotid arteries are rare. A new case of mycotic aneurysm of the bifurcation of the carotid artery secondary to acute bacterial endocarditis affecting the aortic valve is reported. Simultaneous treatment of the two lesions was instituted. The twenty six cases of mycotic aneurysm of the extracranial carotid arteries previously described in the literature are reviewed by the authors.
