Pseudoaneurysm of internal carotid artery after carotid body tumor excision

Intracavernous internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm.

Epistaxis is commonly encountered in otorhinolaryngologic practice. However, severe and recurrent epistaxis is rarely seen, especially that originating from a pseudoaneurysm of the intracavernous internal carotid artery (ICA). We herein present the case of a 32-year-old man who was involved in a motor vehicle accident and subsequently developed recurrent episodes of profuse epistaxis for the ne...

A Penetrating Pellet Jeopardizing Internal Carotid Artery

Endovascular embolization of traumatic intracavernous pseudoaneurysm of internal carotid artery.

Delayed epistaxis after head trauma is a common presentation of’ pseudoaneruysm, which should be investigated. Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the intracavernous ICA is a rate condition resulting from fracture base of the skull. gunshot injuries to head or after surgery on pituitary fossa or sphenoid sinus. The pseudoaneutysni arises at the i nfrac I inoid port ion proximal to opthalmic artery and ...

Massive epistaxis secondary to pseudoaneurysm of internal carotid artery.

Post-traumatic pseudoaneurysms of internal carotid arteries are uncommon. The patients may present with massive epistaxis due to rupture of the aneurysm into the sphenoid sinus. Early diagnosis and treatment is mandatory as the likelihood of exsanguinations increases with each subsequent episode of epistaxis. The clinical features of unilateral blindness and massive epistaxis after head injury ...

Dispersion of coils after parent-artery occlusion of radiation-induced internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm.

We report a rare complication following parent-artery occlusion in a patient with radiation-induced carotid pseudoaneurysms. Both the right internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm and the recurrent external carotid artery pseudoaneurysm were treated by parent-artery occlusion with coils. Although rebleeding was not observed after the second embolization, angiography and endoscopy at the 12-month...
