Fulltext PDFCervical internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare disorder especially in children. The most common cause of acquired internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm are trauma and infection. We present a case of a 10 months old girl who present with life threatening ear bleeding and ptosis after history of fever. We diagnosed her with retropharyngeal abscess complicated by ruptured internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm. She was treated by endovascular carotid artery sacrifice with coiling after establishing her good collateral status of the intracranial circulation.
