In the past 13 years, 24 cases of dorsal ICA aneurysm were operated upon in our hospitals. Three separate groups of such aneurysms could be identified: group 1; where the aneurysms were located most proximally at the carotid-ophthalmic region, group 3; in which the aneurysms were present most distally just proximal to the ICA bifurcation, and group 2; where the aneurysms were located inbetween. All cases in this surgical series will be reviewed stressing upon the classification, pathogenesis, and surgical tactics of such a rare type of aneurysm.
