  • Title: Fatal epistaxis from an aneurysm of the intracranial internal carotid artery.
    Author: Hornibrook J, Rhode JC.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Surg; 1981 Apr; 51(2):206-8. PubMed ID: 6940554.
    Abstract:
    An instance of fatal epistaxis is reported in a patient with an unsuspected aneurysm of the infraclinoid portion of the internal carotid artery. There was no known history of trauma. The aneurysm was subsequently detected on an old X-ray film. Epistaxis from an aneurysm at this site is nearly always preceded by significant head trauma and is associated with cranial nerve palsies, a syndrome with a high mortality. Epistaxis from rupture of a non-traumatic aneurysm is very rare.
