Ultrasound Detection of Extracranial Carotid Artery Aneurysms: A Case Report

The ultrasound definition of extracranial carotid artery aneurysms (ECCAs) is unclear. The threshold diameter to use for defining an extracranial carotid artery as aneurysmal is still debated. Similarly, the ultrasound method of choice for measuring the maximum diameter of ECCAs has not been agreed....
