Mycotic aneurysms of the extracranial carotid arteries are extremely rare. A case is reported of an external carotid artery aneurysm that developed in a patient with infective endocarditis. We review 15 previously reported cases of mycotic aneurysms of the cervical carotid arteries, one of which occurred in a patient with infective endocarditis. None of them occurred in the external carotid artery. Most cases were due to local trauma, a contiguous focus of infection or bacteremia. Surgical resection and appropriate antibiotic treatment lead to cure in most cases.
颅外颈动脉的霉菌性动脉瘤极为罕见。本文报告一例在感染性心内膜炎患者中发生的颈外动脉瘤病例。我们回顾了先前报道的15例颈段颈动脉霉菌性动脉瘤病例，其中1例发生于感染性心内膜炎患者。这些病例均未发生于颈外动脉。大多数病例是由于局部创伤、邻近感染灶或菌血症所致。大多数情况下，手术切除并给予适当的抗生素治疗可治愈。
