Popis:	Pseudoaneurysms of extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) are rare in children. Main causes include trauma, iatrogenic causes, and neck space infection. Prompt diagnosis and management is vital, in view of life-threatening complications like fatal airway hemorrhage and stroke. Endovascular management has currently become the preferred treatment strategy due to its minimally invasive nature and lower complication rates. We report a rare case of mycotic pseudoaneurysm of extracranial ICA in a 4-year-old child as a complication of neck space infection, which was successfully managed with endovascular parent artery occlusion.
