Endovascular treatment of epistaxis in a patient with tuberculosis and a giant petrous carotid pseudoaneurysm.

چکیده
A 31-year-old man with pulmonary tuberculosis who did not have human immunodeficiency virus had massive epistaxis from a giant petrous internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm. Endovascular trapping of the aneurysm was performed, curing the epistaxis. MR showed multiple enhancing brain lesions that resolved with additional antituberculous drug therapy.

Massive epistaxis related to petrous carotid artery pseudoaneurysm after radiation therapy: emergency treatment with covered stent in two cases.
Two patients had acute left carotid rupture from radiation therapy-induced pseudoaneurysms, resulting in hemodynamic collapse. Because the patients were semicomatose and in shock, an immediate salvage procedure was needed. Location of the pseudoaneurysm at the skull base made surgical treatment less possible. Endovascular therapy was the treatment of choice. Preserving patency of the carotid ar...
متن کاملTraumatic intracranial internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm presenting as epistaxis treated by endovascular coiling
Traumatic intracranial pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of blunt trauma. It is even more rare when it presents as epistaxis. Massive epistaxis of a ruptured intracranial internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a major cause of mortality, which requires emergency intervention. We report a case of traumatic intracranial internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to skull base fractur...

BACKGROUND Mycotic pseudoaneurysm from the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) secondary to an invasive aspergillus sinusitis is rare. Surgical intervention with ICA ligation is generally accepted for most mycotic aneurysms or pseudoaneurysms. When presented with massive epistaxis due to a fungal aspergillus ICA invasion, mortality rates are high. METHODS We present the cas...

PURPOSE Carotid blowout syndrome due to rupture of internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm in NPC patients with prior neck radiation is an uncommon but life-threatening complication. Concomitant carotid stenosis with ischemic stroke and carotid rupture from pseudoaneurysm is rare. CASE REPORT A 71-year-old man had a history of NPC treated with radiation therapy 26 years ago. He was admitted to...
