RESUMO
@#A fungal carotid aneurysm is an infrequently occurring infectious aneurysm that is usually treated by antifungal therapy plus surgical debridement of the infected vessel. We herein report an extremely rare case involving a patient with a medical history of bladder cancer treated by Bacillus Calmette– Guérin (BCG) who developed a fungal aneurysm of the internal carotid artery and thrombosis of the superior ophthalmic vein caused by maxillary Aspergillus sinusitis. The patient was successfully treated by antifungal, anticoagulant, and antiplatelet drugs combined with internal carotid artery ligation therapy. Internal carotid artery fungal aneurysm is associated with a high mortality rate, but the present case suggests that it can be successfully treated by antifungal therapy combined with a less invasive endovascular therapy.
