A member asked:
Hello there! i have a quick question! so ive been reading in carotid aneurysms and carotid artery tumours and i would like some help differentiating between the two, would a carotid aneurysm be able to move from side to side?

You're reading about 2 very rare conditions. A carotid aneurysm stays in one carotid artery and doesn't move from one carotid artery to the other but one could have bilateral carotid aneurysms. A vascular surgeon deals with the section of the carotid artery that is in the neck. Neurosurgeons or neuroradiologists treat intracranial carotid arteries.
