Axial T2 FSE (a) and T1 post-contrast (b) CT images demonstrate a large, well-defined expansile mass centered within the right carotid space (white arrowhead). The lesion is heterogeneously hyperintense on T2 and avidly enhances post-contrast. The flow voids of the right internal and external carotid arteries are displaced together anteromedially (white arrows). Axial 2D time-of-flight MR angiography (c) demonstrates the mass (white arrowheads), as well as clearly delineating its resultant mass effect exerted upon the right ICA and ECA, which are pushed together anteriorly within the neck (white arrows). This is in contrast to the contralateral carotid vessels on the left which are in normal position
