ABSTRACT
Extracranial carotid artery aneurysm is a rare disease. A 72-year-old man was admitted with a painful neck mass for 5 days. Neck CT angiography and carotid duplex ultrasonography revealed a fusiform aneurysm of the left carotid bifurcation with a thrombus. His symptoms improved after anticoagulation therapy. The thrombus decreased in size and ultimately disappeared, as evidenced by serial duplex examinations. Carotid duplex ultrasonography is a simple and useful tool for diagnosis and follow-up.
