"Cases like this illustrate the need to keep internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysms in the differential, especially given children's susceptibility to infectious arteritis "

"The patient's original pharyngitis was thought to have developed into a cellulitis, creating a phlegmon that rapidly compromised and eroded into the carotid sheath, leading to separation of the internal carotid artery walls and the development of the pseudoaneurysm."
