Unusual presentation of distal ICA aneurysm in relation to dental abscess.

Mycotic extracranial carotid artery aneurysms are a rare vascular phenomenon with a number of implicated pathogens, most commonly Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella. Presentation of a mycotic extracranial carotid artery aneurysm after dental abscess or procedure is similarly not frequently described in the literature. We present a unique case of a large, distal mycotic internal carotid artery aneurysm, which developed secondary to Haemophilus parainfluenzae infection and dental abscess. © 2022 The Author(s).
