Posttraumatic Damage To The Internal Carotid Artery: Pseudo aneurysm Presenting With Epistaxis And Direct Carotid Cavernous Fistula
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three cases of posttraumatic internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysms presenting with epistaxis and associated direct carotid cavernous fistulae in two of the patients are presented. The rare association of the two types of posttraumatic internal carotid artery damage as well as the method and outcome of endovascular therapy performed in these cases will be reported.

Ruptured aneurysm of the anomalous cerebellar artery originating from internal carotid artery presenting with carotid cavernous fistula: a case report.
We report a case of a ruptured aneurysm of the anomalous cerebellar artery originating from internal carotid artery presenting with a carotid cavernous fistula (CCF). An initial angiogram showed the typical appearance of a CCF with a direct fistulous tract with focal aneurysmal dilation from the ascending cavernous segment of the right internal carotid artery. A postembolization angiogram of th...

Traumatic carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) presents most commonly as a direct connection between the cavernous segment of internal carotid artery (ICA) and cavernous sinus (CS), and often accompanies basal skull fracture (BSF). The most frequently reported signs and symptoms are proptosis, chemosis, and bruit. Epistaxis is uncommon symptom of CCF. A 63-year-old man with a history of BSF due to b...

The fistula is usually unilateral but can be bilateral [1 , 2]. In general , only one communication occurs betwe~n the carotid siphon and the cavernous sinus, as was shown in a large number of cases wh...

The syndrome of delayed epistaxis and monocular blindness following nonpenetrating head injury is reviewed. Bleeding results from rupture of a traumatic cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm into the sphenoid sinus. There were 96 patients with this syndrome found in the literature and another four are added in this report. In 73% of the patients, the cause of the epistaxis was not apprecia...

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 ...
