• In this case, significant neurological symptoms were linked to a previously undiagnosed carotid aneurysm.
• Assessment relied on advanced diagnostic imaging techniques to identify the aneurysm in the patient.
• Findings call for awareness of atypical presentations of carotid aneurysms in clinical practice.
