Parapharyngeal abscesses can rarely be complicated by the development of a false aneurysm of the carotid artery. The condition is more commonly seen in children and is associated with a high mortality if unrecognised. There have been just 30 cases since 1933 reported in the literature with a fall in incidence since the introduction of antibiotics. The condition if left untreated has a mortality of approaching 80% and this, along with its rarity, highlights the necessity of prompt recognition…

Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery Mycotic Aneurysm: Case Report and Review
TLDR
A case of a 47-year-old woman with an apparent mycotic aneurysm of the extracranial ICA associated with Klebsiella pneumonia is presented, and the various clinical findings and radiographic imaging that lead to this unusual diagnosis are discussed.

Mycotic aneurysm of the internal carotid artery.
Mycotic Aneurysm of the Internal Carotid Artery Presenting with Multiple Cerebral Septic Emboli
TLDR
A 79-year-old male presented with hemiparesis owing to brain embolism from multiple septic emboli originating from the aneurysm and restoration of arterial supply to the brain by vein graft interpositioning was the therapeutic procedure along with long-term antibiotic treatment.

Internal Carotid Artery Pseudoaneurysm and Ischemic Stroke Secondary to Retropharyngeal and Parapharyngeal Abscess
TLDR
The clinical course of a 2-year-old boy with retropharyngeal abscess complicated by internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm, is described and the literature is reviewed.
Endovascular Stenting of Peripheral Infected Aneurysms: A Temporary Measure or a Definitive Solution in High-Risk Patients
TLDR
It is concluded that further development of endoluminal techniques and long-term follow-up to establish the durability of stenting could potentially lead to a decrease in the high morbidity and mortality rates associated with infected aneurysmal disease in this high-risk group of patients.
