Abstract

Traumatic aneurysms need an accurate diagnosis and active treatment because they present the risk of rupturing within a week after trauma in 50% of cases. We report a traumatic aneurysm arising from the medial wall of the clinoid segment of the internal carotid artery. The aneurysm was observed on a CT angiography and a transfemoral cerebral angiography and treated successfully with endovascular stent deployment.
