Cerebral aneurysms of traumatic origin.

A S Fleischer, J M Patton, G T Tindall

    Surgical Neurology
    |August 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Traumatic cerebral aneurysms can occur after head injuries and often involve other brain damage. Surgical treatment of these aneurysms is linked to significantly lower mortality rates compared to non-surgical methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Neurology
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Traumatic cerebral aneurysms are rare but serious complications following head injuries.
    • These aneurysms are often associated with substantial intracranial damage.
    • Reviewing existing literature and presenting new cases is crucial for understanding these injuries.

    Observation:

    • This report details 41 cases of traumatic cerebral aneurysms, including four novel cases.
    • The aneurysms can result from both penetrating and closed head injuries.
    • A significant proportion of patients (nearly half) experienced delayed subarachnoid hemorrhage within three weeks of the initial injury, indicating a specific neurological syndrome.

    Findings:

    • Post-traumatic aneurysms are frequently accompanied by other severe intracranial injuries.
    • Delayed subarachnoid hemorrhage is a notable presentation in nearly 50% of cases.
    • Surgical obliteration of post-traumatic aneurysms halved the mortality rate compared to non-surgical management.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and intervention for traumatic cerebral aneurysms are critical.
    • Surgical obliteration should be strongly considered for patients with post-traumatic aneurysms due to improved survival outcomes.
    • Understanding the delayed hemorrhage syndrome can guide timely diagnosis and treatment strategies.
