| Popis: | Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms in children are extremely rare, nevertheless associated with a great potential of thromboembolic episodes and rupture especially those with mycotic origin. The surgical treatment is very challenging, and there is still a controversy concerning revascularisation after the resection of the aneurysm. In this manuscript, we report the observation of an 8-year-old boy with the medical history of Leukemia who is admitted urgently for a mycotic right common carotid artery aneurysm, occurring after a chemoport infection who was operated on in our cardiovascular surgery department with surgical resection and ligation. It is the second report in the pediatric literature of a mycotic pseudoaneurysm situated in the common carotid artery, but the first documented by medical imagery. Through this case, we highlight that ligation of the infected carotid artery can be a safe and efficient alternative especially in Children. |
