Abstract
- Traumatic penetrating injuries to the internal carotid artery (ICA) resulting in the formation of a traumatic pseudoaneurysm are potentially devastating injuries. Previously treatment included, open surgical occlusion of the affected vessel or endovascular embolization. However, with the advent of flow diverter stents, endoluminal reconstruction has become a viable treatment option. In this case report we describe the successful managment of an ICA pseudoaneurysm due to a transorbital stab injury. Endoluminal reconstruction in a traumatic aneurysm is a feasible option. Considering the risk of hemorrhagic complications due to dual antiplatelet therapy required after flow diverter placement, this treatment should only be chosen if insufficient collateral supply is found and occlusion of the affected vessel is not a viable option.
