Aneurysm of the middle meningeal artery.

Middle meningeal artery aneurysm: Case report

BACKGROUND Aneurysms of meningeal middle artery (MMA) are extremely rare. These aneurysms are of two types: true aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm. The true type is usually seen with pathologic conditions. Pseudoaneurysms, on the other hand, are associated with a skull fracture. Epilepsy caused by MMA aneurysm has never been described to our knowledge. We report a case of true aneurysm isolated from ...

False Aneurysm of the Common Femoral Artery in an Infant after a Phlebotomy

False Aneurysms are uncommon in the pediatric population. We report a case of false aneurysm of the common femoral artery (CFA) after accidental arterial puncture, during a phlebotomy for blood sample. The lesion was surgically resected and arterial continuity restored by end to end anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Endovascular Treatment of a Traumatic Pseudo Aneurysm of the Middle Meningeal Artery

We describe a case of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of middle meningeal artery in a patient after a head trauma. The aneurysm was associated with epidural hemorrhage and was treated successfully with coil embolization.

Middle Meningeal Artery Arising from the Basilar Artery

The right MMA was normal and an accessory meningeal artery arising from the maxillary artery was present on both the sides. The foramen spinosum on the variant side was absent. This abnormal origin of the MMA can be explaine...
