RESUMO
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.

Axillary artery injury following anterior dislocation of the shoulder in children is a rare complication often considered as iatrogenic. We report the case of a pseudo-aneurysm of the axillary artery in a 5-year-old boy that appeared four months after a shoulder dislocation that was reduced in an ambulatory setting. Although this is an uncommon vascular complication, we emphasize the need for short-term and long-term follow-up in these children to avoid missing a pseudo-aneurysm of the axillary artery.

Venous aneurysms are a relatively rare pathology, far less common than arterial aneurysms. Unrelated to either age or gender, they can affect any vein, including cervical, thoracic, visceral, and lower limb veins. Aneurysmal dilatations in cervical veins are rare due to low pressure in the vena cava system; they can involve any vein but most frequently are observed on the internal and external jugular veins. This report of three patients highlights some of the specific diagnostic and therapeutic features of this pathology.
