Abstract

A 38-year old man was admitted to our hospital due to a $5{\times}6cm$ sized pulsating mass in the right neck. He suffered from intermittent neck pain and hoarseness for two months due to the rapidly growing mass. The radiological examinations revealed an aneurysm of the right common carotid artery near the bifurcation, and it was compressing the internal and external carotid arteries. Endarterectomy of the right internal carotid artery, aneurysmectomy of the right common carotid artery and graft interposition were done, while the cerebral circulation was maintained by an internal shunt. Intraoperative injury to the nerve tissue around the aneurysm was avoided. He was discharged on the postoperative 7th day without any complications.

38세 남자가 우측 경부의 약 $5{\times}6cm$ 크기의 박동성 종괴를 주소로 내원하였다. 종괴는 최근 2개월간 빠르게 커졌으며 간헐적인 경부 통증과 애성 등의 증상이 동반되었다. 방사선학적 검사를 통하여 우측 총경동맥 분지부 직하방에 위치한 동맥류를 확인하였으며 그것은 내경동맥과 외경동맥을 압박하고 있었다. 내부 단락을 사용하여 뇌혈류를 유지한 상태에서 우내경동맥 일부 내막절제술을 시행하였으며 동맥류를 절제하고 도관대치를 시행하였다. 수술 중 주위 신경조직의 손상은 없었으며 별다른 합병증 없이 회복하여 환자는 수술 후 7일에 퇴원하였다.
