The purpose of this article is to document such a case, in which the patient presented with a painful, pulsatile mass at the root of the right neck where the differential diagnosis from aneurysm could not be clinically ascertained. Opacification of this vessel by contrast medium provided indisputable proof of common carotid buckling, and the patient was spared an exploratory operation.Buckling of the common carotid carotid artery had been studied in detail prior to the development of angiocardiography.
