Unusual presentation of traumatic extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm.

Computerized axial tomography demonstrated a small right frontal infarct, and angiography revealed an aneurysm of the right internal carotid artery in its extracranial course. This was thought to be traumatic in origin.
