Pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery (STA) is a rare clinical entity that has been linked with traumatic causes. Neurofibromatosis type I (NF-1) an autosomal dominant disorder known but uncommon vascular abnormalities comprise stenoses, occlusions, aneurysms, fistulas and arteriovenous malformations. We presented 46-year-old man features NF-1 (e.g., café au lait spots, skin neurofi...

Traumatic intracranial aneurysms are one possible complication after penetrating brain injury. A 25-year-old man with a history of major depression presented with a crossbow bolt penetrating the head. On arrival, Glasgow Coma Scale score was E4V5M6, with no apparent neurological deficit. Computed tomography (CT) of the head showed the crossbow bolt passing near the corpus callosum, with surroun...

objective: to determine the risk factors, clinical characteristics, surgical management and outcome of pseudoaneurysm secondary to iatrogenic or traumatic vascular injury. m et h o d s : this was a cross-sectional study being performed in department of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery skims soura during a 4-year period. we included all the patients referring to our center with primary diagno...

38-year old, drunken man had fell from the window and was admited to the hospital with multiple limb fractures and suspicion of traumatic liver injury. Post-contrast CT examination proved the pseudoaneurysm arising caudally from the proper hepatic artery. The indicated angiography should specify location and character of the pseudoaneurysm and allow its subsequent embolization. After placing th...

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.

Traumatic intracranial pseudoaneurysms occurring after blunt head injuries are rare. We report an unusual case of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) caused by rupturing of the traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid artery (ICA) bifurcation that resulted from a non-penetrating injury. In a patient with severe headache and SAH in the right sylvian cistern, which developed within 7 days after...

Isolated traumatic pseudoaneurysms of the basilar artery are extremely rare but often fatal resulting in a mortality rate as high as 50%. A 51-year-old man presented with craniofacial injury after blunt trauma. A brain computed tomography (CT) scan showed thick basal subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with multiple craniofacial fractures, while CT angiography revealed contrast extravasation at ...
