Internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of deep neck infections. The authors report the case of a 17-year-old male who presented to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology with an acute tonsillitis requiring tonsillectomy. Four weeks after the surgery the patient was readmitted because of progressive swallowing, trismus, and worsening headache. Computed tomography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the left internal carotid artery in the extracranial segment. A bare Wallstent was implanted primarily and a complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm was achieved. The endovascular approach is a quick and safe method for the treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid artery.

AbstractObjective:We report a rare case of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid artery secondary to endoscopic sphenoid surgery.Method:The management of this unusual complication and a review of the literature are presented.Results:A 65-year-old woman presented with intractable epistaxis four days following endoscopic sphenoid sinus surgery. Initial, conservative measures were unsuccessful in controlling bleeding. The clinical picture of delayed, severe epistaxis after a sphenoid sinus exploration raised the possibility of injury to the internal carotid artery and subsequent formation of a false aneurysm. The patient's pseudoaneurysm was managed, without visualising it, by packing the sphenoid sinus (achieved by palpating 1 cm above the shoulder of the posterior choana) in order to gain control of the haemorrhage, followed by endovascular occlusion.Conclusion:An awareness of this rare complication is essential in order to manage this life-threatening condition efficiently.

Intractable Epistaxis

ABSTRACT Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of internal carotid artery is a rare complication of injury after craniomaxillofacial trauma. Delayed recurrent epistaxis after head and facial trauma is the most distinctive manifestation of traumatic internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm. Epistaxis due to pseudoaneurysm of internal carotid artery is difficult to control, and may lead to hemor- rhagic shock or asphyxia and thus seriously threatens life. The purpose of this paper is to present a rare case of recurrent epistaxis secondary to ICA pseudoaneurysm following blunt maxillofacial trauma. Endovascular stenting was performed and the recurrent epistaxis was successfully arrested. How to cite this article Kumar D, Sahu GR, Kumar A, Mukherjee KK, Rattan V.

Coil Migration

Coil migration and extrusion outside the cranial compartment after embolization of cerebral aneurysms represents a very rare complication of the endovascular procedures and few cases are reported in the literature. Instability of the vascular malformation wall and the resolution of the intramural hematoma, especially in pseudoaneurysm, might generate extravascular migration of the coils in the first months after embolization. However, to the best of our knowledge, an extrusion of coil 10 years after embolization has never been reported. We reported the unique case of a patient with coil extrusion into the naso- and oropharynx 10 years after internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm embolization. The pseudoaneurysm occurred after an internal carotid artery injury during an endoscopic endonasal surgery for a clival giant cell tumor.

Lumen Catheter

Carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication from placement of an internal jugular triple lumen catheter. Endovascular stenting is the favored treatment option in the setting of traumatic carotid injury. In other parts of the body, specifically the femoral artery, thrombin injection has become the standard of care. We intend to show that effective management of carotid pseudoaneurysms can also be achieved with thrombin injection after placement of a distal embolic protection device.
