Abstract

Aneurysm of the carotid artery in the neck is rare lesion and may elicited in patient with Behcet's disease. To achieve maintenance of critical perfusion pressure of brain during the cross clamping of the carotid body, the anesthesiologist is familiar with the use, reliability and limitation of various monitoring modalities and posses a working knowledge of basic brain physiology and protective measures available to protect against cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. We report here our anesthetic experiences and considerations of 2 surgical patients with both common carotid artery aneurysm and false carotid artery aneurysm associated with Behcet's disease.
