Traumatic intracranial aneurysms, often occurring after head trauma, can cause delayed hemorrhage and have a high mortality rate. Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for better patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Vascular Neurology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Traumatic intracranial aneurysms are rare, accounting for less than 1% of cerebral aneurysms.
  • They can result from blunt or penetrating head trauma, with a higher incidence in pediatric patients.
  • Histologically classified as true, false, or mixed, false aneurysms are most prevalent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a classification scheme for traumatic aneurysms based on anatomical location.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering traumatic aneurysms in patients with neurological deterioration post-head injury.
  • To highlight key characteristics and management principles for traumatic intracranial aneurysms.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature and case studies on traumatic intracranial aneurysms.

  • Analysis of presentation, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes.
  • Development of an anatomical classification system for these aneurysms.

    • Main Results:

    • Traumatic aneurysms typically present with delayed intracranial hemorrhage, averaging 21 days post-trauma.
    • Mortality rates can reach up to 50% without prompt and aggressive management.
    • These aneurysms can occur even after mild closed head injuries and are more common in children.

    Conclusions:

    • Post-traumatic aneurysms should be considered in patients with acute neurological decline following head injury.
    • They can occur following mild head trauma and are more frequent in pediatric populations.
    • Surgical clipping and/or endovascular occlusion represent the definitive treatment for traumatic intracranial aneurysms.
