We report herein an 11-year-old pedestrian struck by a motorcycle, who suffered subdural hematoma and aortic rupture and developed traumatic pseudoaneurysm. He was treated conservatively for the first 24 hours and submitted to stent placement occluding the aneurysm neck. There were no recurrences in the post-procedure period and the child was discharged after 21 days without sequelae. This repo...

We report the incidental finding of a late post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta in a patient being treated for subarachnoid hemorrhage from a motorcycle accident. The diagnosis of calcified vascular mediastinal masses may be suspected from routine chest roentgenograms and confirmed by aortography. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are helpful when the diagnosis r...

Epistaxis is a common problem encountered in clinical practice. It is usually self-limiting and is usually controlled with conservative measures such as nasal compression or ice-packs. Occasionally nasal packing is required. It is rarely severe enough that surgical intervention is warranted. The following report illustrates a patient who presented to us with a rare cause of life-threatening epi...

We report the case of a 55-year-old patient presenting with biliary obstruction caused by coil migration from a recently performed embolization of a post-traumatic gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm. Based on imaging findings, biliary drain placement was initially performed and the subsequent endoscopy demonstrated coil erosion into the common bile duct and duodenum, resulting in choledochodu...

Innominate artery injury is an uncommon consequence of blunt trauma to the neck due its protected position behind thorax. A 38-year-old male presented as a with right-sided pseudoaneurysm emanating from distal innominate after falling three-story building. On imaging, he also had bovine arch. He underwent hybrid repair covered stent placement common carotid into artery, carotid-subclavian bypas...

AIM The current study aims to explore the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm (TICAP) primarily manifested by repeated epistaxis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Clinical data from 31 patients suffering from repeated epistaxis after trauma were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were diagnosed definitely with pseudoaneurysm at the internal carotid cavernous si...

Pseudoaneurysm of the internal maxillary artery due to a traumatic event is a rare condition. Pseudoaneurysms are usually directly produced by arteries break with extravasation of blood. The compressed perivascular tissue forms the wall of aneurysmal sac. Then, this sac gradually expands and can be damaged. It is rare to see pseudoaneurysms of IMA. They are usually associated with fracture of t...
