Abstract
PURPOSE: The occurrence of traumatic aneurysm is rare in head injury, but this complication is important as
it is a potentially treatable cause delayed onset of intracranial hemorrhage. Authors report one case of
traumatic aneurysm involving A1 and A2 junction of anterior cerebral artery.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A-28-year-old man with traffic accident was examined with brain CT & cerebral
angiography.
RESULTS: l) Brain CT:lnitial scan shows multiple skull fractures involving right frontal bones with
subarachnoid hemorrhage and pneumocephalus. Follow-up scan shows intracerebral hemorrhage at bilateral
frontal lobes. 2) Cerebral angiography:A traumatic aneurysm which is slowly filling and delayed emptying is
noted at the junctional portion of A1 and A2 segment of the anterior cerebral artery.
CONCLUSION: This report demonstrates radiologic findings of traumatic aneurysm at anterior cerebral artery
with the brief review of the literatures.
