ogy requiring endovascular treatment. Most direct CCFs are secondary to traumatic injury involving the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA). Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm (esp. intracavernous aneurysm) leads to CCF, epistaxis, or subarachnoid hemorrhage. On the contrary, TCAs comprise less than 1% of all intracranial aneurysms and are usually associated with penetrating ...
