Non-atherosclerotic internal carotid artery (ICA) lesions are uncommon. The incidence of ICA dissections is estimated to be 2.5 to 3 per 100,000, with a 10% annual recurrence rate of thromboembolic. The incidence of fibromuscular dysplasia...

True aneurysms of the extracranial internal carotid artery (EICA) are extremely rare and have been thought to be secondary to atherosclerosis. Other less common causes include fibromuscular dysplasia, Takayasu’s Arteritis, neurofibromatosis...
