“…Aneurysms of the extracranial ICA are rare. The preponderance of men is clear in the literature, with a male/female ratio of 2:1.3 [ 3 ]. The different causes and especially the traumatic lesions explain the relatively young age of this population, 56 years old [ 3 ].…”

“…The preponderance of men is clear in the literature, with a male/female ratio of 2:1.3 [ 3 ]. The different causes and especially the traumatic lesions explain the relatively young age of this population, 56 years old [ 3 ]. Aneurysms of the extracranial carotid artery can be partially or completely thrombosed, can cause distal embolization, or compression of adjacent structures, and can be ruptured [ 7 ].…”

Middle ear aneurysms are rare and difficult to treat. The case of a 50-year-old female who presented with left otorrhagia caused by an internal carotid aneurysm is reported. She had no medical history of tinnitus, vertigo, otalgia or otorrhea. Middle ear surgery was effective in resolving bleeding and did not cause any permanent neurological deficit. High resolution computed tomography angiography is the technique of choice and, in some cases, can be complemented with a magnetic resonance angiography. Misdiagnosis of the internal carotid artery aneurysm may lead to serious morbidity because of bleeding or vascular occlusion. The use of modern imaging techniques explain the current relative increase in frequency.

Aberrant internal carotid artery in the middle ear Resumo / SummaryMal formações vasculares na orelha média são raras, e a artéria carótida interna (ACI) aberrante deve ser lembrada no diagnóstico diferencial, visto o grande risco trazido por uma intervenção cirúrgica inadvertidamente realizada na cavidade timpânica. O paciente pode apresentar-se assintomático ou, comumente, com hipoacusia e/ou zumbido pulsátil. As imagens fornecidas pela tomografia computadorizada (TC) e ressonância magnética (RM), incluindo a angiorressonância, firmam o diagnóstico. Os autores descrevem um caso em criança de 13 anos, em que o diagnóstico foi feito através de exames de imagens, direcionados por uma importante suspeita clínica.
