  • Title: Traumatic aneurysms of the supraclinoid internal carotid artery.
    Author: Pozzati E, Gaist G, Servadei F.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1982 Sep; 57(3):418-22. PubMed ID: 7097342.
    Abstract:
    This paper describes two patients with traumatic aneurysms of the supraclinoid internal carotid artery, which occurred after a closed-head injury and without demonstrable basal skull fracture. In the first case, the traumatic origin of the aneurysm was demonstrated by repeat angiograms. The second case documents the formation of a giant, traumatic, true aneurysm of the supraclinoid carotid artery over a period of less than 2 months; there was an associated traumatic partial occlusion of the vessel proximal to the aneurysm. The mechanisms of injury of the supraclinoid carotid artery are discussed.
