Objectives This presentation will help the physician optimize their management of this rare complication. Methods Presentation of a case series from our experience with the management of 3 endonasal surgery complications of intracranial hemorrhage due to anterior cerebral artery trauma. We present a review of the literature and propose an algorithm for the prompt and appropriate management of this complication. Results The recognition of actual or potential intracranial vascular injury following trauma to the skull base during endonasal surgery requires prompt identification and management that extends beyond that of simple CSF leak repair. During the immediate post-operative period, identification of the extent of injury with neurovascular imaging studies and early neurosurgical consultation is essential. Intermediate peri-operative management focuses on the prevention of the additional complications of intracranial infection, an intracranial hematoma, and pseudoaneurysm formation by using staged angiography. Long-term management focuses on optimizing a patient's functional outcome with selective use of MRI to evaluate brain healing while assessing the risk for developing a convulsive disorder. Conclusions Awareness of the potential for trauma to the anterior cerebral artery complex following skull base penetration during endonasal surgery will allow a surgeon to better anticipate and manage its potential sequelae, thereby reducing the risk of an unfavorable outcome.

The clinical case of simultaneous endovascular bloodstream exclusion of arteriovenous malformation and saccular aneurysm in parturient woman is presented. Onyx liquid adhesive composition and monospiral aneurysm occlusion technique were used. Patient X., 31, was hospitalized to the clinic on the 10th day of the postpartum period. From the anamnesis: twice (at 20th and 27th weeks of pregnancy) patient suffered intraventricular hemorrhage due to the rupture of arteriovenous malformation in the posterior third of the corpus callosum, left lateral ventricle and left parietal lobe of the brain. After the first hemorrhage a conservative treatment tactic was determined, given the high risk of complications associated with the surgical intervention for the mother and fetus. After the second hemorrhage endovascular embolization of malformation was suggested, however, the patient and her husband refused surgery, preferring conservative therapy with subsequent surgical treatment after delivery. In addition to the malformation, according to the data of selective cerebral subtraction angiography multiple cerebral saccular aneurysms of the left Anterior Cerebral – Anterior Communicating Artery and 2 Anterior Cerebral Artery aneurysms (A2-A2, A3-A4-segments) on the right side were diagnosed. Endovascular subtotal embolization of arteriovenous malformation and occlusion of the right Anterior Cerebral Artery (A2-A3-segment) saccular aneurysm were performed during the operation. A control angiographic examination after 3 months showed a complete exclusion of these arteriovenous malformation and saccular aneurysm and disappearance of all aneurysms of the left Anterior Cerebral Artery – Anterior Communicating Artery and right Anterior Cerebral Artery (A3-A4-segment).
