Extracranial carotid aneurysms are rare, but are of significant clinical interest due to the high risk of cerebral embolism. Despite considerable progress in endovascular techniques, surgical treatment of these aneurysms remains the golden standard. We report the case of a 50-year-old man who presented an aneurysm of the left internal carotid artery measuring 46 × 26 mm. Resection of the aneurysm with interposition of a prosthetic graft was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Pathology reported that the aneurysmal sac probably had a dysplastic origin.
