Abstract:
We report on a 55-year-old male with an internal carotid artery aneurysm at the level of the second cervical vertebra. Since ant-coagulation therapy failed to prevent the ischemic attack, aneurysmectomy with arterial reconstruction was performed. Vertical mandibular osteotomy allowed a wide working space in deep operative field. This technique is considered to be useful in surgery for aneurysms of the extracranial distal internal carotid artery.
