Acute pulmonary embolism as a complication in a young male patient with a left popliteal venous aneurysm.

Venous aneurysms are rare and have a prevalence of 0.1 to 0.2% in the reported series.

Surgical Management of a Type II Extracranial Internal Carotid Aneurysm near to the Skull Base.

True aneurysmal disease in the carotid arteries is very uncommon, but individuals with this pathology face the grave risk of thromboembolism, which may consequently lead to cerebrovascular accidents. Clinical knowledge remains relatively limited owing to its rarity. We present the case of a 41-year-old obese female with a type II right extracranial internal carotid artery aneurysm incidentally found during imaging work-up.
