Abstract A 5-year-old white boy presented with life-threatening haematemesis from spontaneous rupture of an aneurysm of the high cervical internal carotid artery (ICA). The haemorrhage was controlled by emergency trap ligation of the distal ICA in the neck. The child made an excellent recovery and 7 years later has no neurologic deficit other than an Horner's syndrome. The diagnosis of an extracranial carotid artery aneurysm without a pulsatile lump may be very deceptive.
