We present a case of a 77-year-old patient who presented with a stroke. She subsequently became unwell and was found to have a spontaneous infective native carotid artery pseudoaneurysm. The patient was managed conservatively as per her wishes. Despite the rarity of this clinical diagnosis, clinicians should be aware of the pathophysiology of this entity and the available literature on management.
我们报告了一例 77 岁患者,其因中风就诊。随后,患者病情恶化,并发现自发性感染性颈动脉假性动脉瘤。根据患者意愿,对其进行了保守治疗。尽管这种临床诊断较为罕见,但临床医生应该了解该实体的病理生理学以及关于治疗的现有文献。
