Abstract:
True occipital artery aneurysms are exceptionally rare. To our knowledge only five reports of true occipital artery aneurysm have been previously described.1-5 We present a rare case of a 70-year-old gentleman with a true occipital artery aneurysm associated with alopecia areata. This case report adds to the current lack of literature on true occipital artery aneurysms and summarises their presentation, investigation and management.
