  • Title: Post-traumatic dissecting aneurysm of extracranial internal carotid artery: endovascular treatment with stenting.
    Author: Simionato F, Righi C, Scotti G.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1999 Jul; 41(7):543-7. PubMed ID: 10450853.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic internal carotid dissection occurs frequently in motor vehicle accidents, typically extracranially, close to the skull base. Dissection may lead to stenosis or occlusion of the vessel, possibly with a pseudoaneurysm, symptoms ranging from neck pain to neurological deficits. In symptomatic patients and in cases of pseudoaneurysm, when conservative medical treatment fails, surgery or endovascular treatment are indicated. We report a post-traumatic dissecting aneurysm of the extracranial internal carotid artery successfully treated with stenting via a transfemoral approach.
