Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
An aneurysm is an excessive localized swelling of the wall of an artery.This is just what your medical test report say is at the level of your right internal carotid artery.The cause of this problem is not clear, however, traumatic, infectious and congenital causes have be implicated with its development.The risk associated with this problem is a future rupture. I will suggest you see a Cardiologist or a Vascular surgeon and discuss the treatment options.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
