title: Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms. Report of two cases.
abstract: Two cases of extracranial carotid artery aneurysm are reported. Treatment of this uncommon but interesting vascular disorder is still under discussion even if the present tendency is to treat them actively, by reconstructive techniques. We present our surgical experience and discuss the diagnostic problems and management.
