Abstract
is a rare causative agent for mycotic aneurysms of the extracranial carotid arteries. We describe a case of acute mycotic pseudoaneurysm and abscess in the right proximal internal carotid artery in close proximity to the carotid bifurcation, and subsequent management with antibiotic therapy, surgical debridement and resection with an end-to-end anastomosis.
