Summary
Traumatic intracranial aneurysms (TICAs) are rare but deadly. This case highlights how forensic analysis, including CT angiography and histology, can determine the traumatic origin of an aneurysm, even in complex assault cases.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Forensic Pathology
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Traumatic intracranial aneurysms (TICAs) are uncommon, comprising <1% of intracranial aneurysms.
- TICAs carry a high mortality rate, exceeding 50%.
- This case involves a TICA of the posterior communicating artery resulting from severe physical assault.

The Arch of Aorta

The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...
