Zusammenfassung:	Mycotic cervical carotid artery aneurysms are rare. We report one case successfully treated by resection and reconstruction with a saphenous vein interposition graft. A review of the English world literature revealed 22 additional cases. Principles of management include appropriate and timely antibiotic use, resection of the aneurysm, debridement of all infected tissue, and restoration of arterial continuity with autogenous tissue through uninvolved tissue planes.
