  • Title: [Profuse epistaxis caused by a nontraumatic carotid artery aneurysm].
    Author: Toft JG, Barfoed CP, Grand M.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2006 May 08; 168(19):1871-2. PubMed ID: 16756807.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of epistaxis caused by a nontraumatic cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm. A 43-year-old woman was hospitalised due to profuse epistaxis. Investigation with sinoscopy showed a pulsating artery in the sinus sphenoidalis and a follow-up MR angiography showed an aneurysm on the internal carotid artery. She was treated with coiling. The patient had no further bleeding episodes, and half a year after surgery she was neurologically intact. Carotid artery aneurysms must be considered in the differential diagnosis of profuse epistaxis.
