Extracranial carotid artery aneurysms secondary to accidental injury are rare. We have seen eight lesions of this type in the last 10 years. The aneurysm was produced by blunt trauma in four patients, penetrating shrapnel injury in two, stabbing and electrical injury in one each. The left side was involved in seven patients. The internal and common carotid artery were each involved in four patients and the lesion was unilocular in five. These lesions often produce non-specific symptoms and may mimic neoplastic or inflammatory masses: a mistaken diagnosis of tonsillar abscess in one patient resulted in incision and drainage before an intravenous digital subtraction angiogram (IV-DSA) correctly identified the abnormality. IV-DSA is ideal for pre-operative assessment of these patients. Awareness of these lesions is essential since definitive surgical repair is possible. All patients in the present study underwent successful surgical repair.
