Symptoms are usually caused by cerebrovascular insufficiency; local compression or rupture is rare. We present the case of a 77-year-old man with a giant saccular aneurysm of the cervical internal carotid artery (ICA), which was treated with aneurysmectomy and side-to-end anastomosis of the ICA.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Case Description:<\/jats:title>\n The patient had experienced cervical pulsation and shoulder stiffness for 3 months. The patient had no significant medical history. An otolaryngologist performed the vascular imaging and referred the patient to our hospital for definitive management. Neurological deficits were not observed. Digital subtraction angiography showed a giant cervical aneurysm with a diameter of 25 mm within the ICA, and there was no evidence of thrombosis within the aneurysm. Aneurysmectomy and side-to-end anastomosis of the cervical ICA were performed under general anesthesia. After the procedure, the patient experienced partial hypoglossal nerve palsy but fully recovered with speech therapy. Postoperative computed tomography angiography revealed the complete aneurysm removal and patency of the ICA. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 7.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Despite several limitations, surgical aneurysmectomy and reconstruction are recommended to eliminate the mass effect and to avoid postoperative ischemic complications, even in the endovascular era.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_351_2023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,9]],"date-time":"2023-06-09T14:18:55Z","timestamp":1686320335000},"page":"202","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Giant saccular aneurysm of the cervical internal carotid artery treated with aneurysmectomy and side-to-end anastomosis"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Takuma","family":"Maeda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Ohkawara Neurosurgical Hospital, Muroran, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Saitama Medical University International Medical Center, Hidaka, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shiho","family":"Sakai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Ohkawara Neurosurgical Hospital, Muroran, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Saitama Medical University International Medical Center, Hidaka, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manabu","family":"Osakabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Ohkawara Neurosurgical Hospital, Muroran, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mai","family":"Okawara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Ohkawara Neurosurgical Hospital, Muroran, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tatsufumi","family":"Nomura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Ohkawara Neurosurgical Hospital, Muroran, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Yamaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Ohkawara Neurosurgical Hospital, Muroran, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takahiro","family":"Maeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Ohkawara Neurosurgical Hospital, Muroran, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroki","family":"Kurita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Saitama Medical University International Medical Center, Hidaka, Japan."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_351_2023\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"402","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1599099","article-title":"End-to-end versus end-to-side microvascular anastomosis: A meta-analysis of free flap outcomes","volume":"33","author":"Ahmadi","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Reconstr Microsurg"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_351_2023\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"127","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2008.10.020","article-title":"Surgical therapy of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms: Long-term results over a 24-year period","volume":"37","author":"Attigah","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_351_2023\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1889","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1969.03160250045010","article-title":"Joint study of extracranial arterial occlusion.
