RESUMO
We report the case of a 77-year-old woman presenting with an asymptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm arising at the skull base. The distal right extracranial ICA aneurysm presented as a challenging case due to difficulty in obtaining adequate surgical exposure and preserving the facial nerves present near the ICA aneurysm. Transcervical open repair with a team of vascular and otolaryngology surgeons was completed successfully. In this report, we detail the operative steps needed to complete this exposure and our perioperative management.
