  • Title: Rupture of cavernous carotid artery aneurysm causing subdural hematoma and death. Case report.
    Author: Hodes JE, Fletcher WA, Goodman DF, Hoyt WF.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1988 Oct; 69(4):617-9. PubMed ID: 3418396.
    Abstract:
    Aneurysms of the intracavernous portion of the internal carotid artery may become very large, but they very rarely rupture. A case is described in which rupture of such a lesion resulted in a lethal massive subdural hematoma with transtentorial herniation. This is the second reported case of substantiated intracranial rupture from a wholly intracavernous carotid artery aneurysm.
