Objective:

to report 2 cases of spontaneous carotid dissection (SCD) that presented a pseudoaneurysm as a complication. Description we report a case of a 47 year old patient with headache and Horner syndrome. The digital angiography (DA) showed a SCD. That was followed by a pseudoaneurysm. A 46 year old patient presented with a right amaurosis fugax and left hemiparesis. A SCD was diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography. It presented with a pseudoaneurysm. Intervention both pseudoaneurysm were treated with stents.
