Abstract
Although seen rarely, extracranial carotid artery aneurysm is a serious problem causing
life threatening complications. In most of the cases, there is a pulsatile mass on the neck, but
usually remains undiagnosed unless symptomatic. In this case report, we aim to share our experience
in a patient having symptoms of head and neck pain, hemiparesia, anisocoria, speech disorders,
and dysphagia, but no palbable pulsatile mass on physical examination, and whose diagnoses was
made lately.
