Abstract: | Traumatic internal carotid dissection occurs frequently in motor vehicle accidents, typically extracranially, close to the
skull base. Dissection may lead to stenosis or occlusion of the vessel, possibly with a pseudoaneurysm, symptoms ranging from
neck pain to neurological deficits. In symptomatic patients and in cases of pseudoaneurysm, when conservative medical treatment
fails, surgery or endovascular treatment are indicated. We report a post-traumatic dissecting aneurysm of the extracranial
internal carotid artery successfully treated with stenting via a transfemoral approach.
