Aneurysm or Tumor? Successful Endovascular Management of a Ruptured Cervical Internal Carotid Artery Aneurysms: A Case Report

Abstract

Cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms are rare, often mimicking neoplastic lesions and leading to  misdiagnosis. Misguided surgical or biopsy interventions can result in catastrophic hemorrhage. We report a  case of adolescent female with ruptured cervical ICA aneurysm initially misdiagnosed as neck tumor, which  was successfully treated with endovascular occlusion techniques using N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) glue.  This case highlight the importance of vascular imaging in suspicious cervical masses and reinforce the safety  and efficacy of endovascular exclusion in selected cases
