    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Traumatic aneurysms in the intracavernous carotid artery require specific treatment. Direct clipping is often unsuccessful; trapping or ligation are preferred for these complex carotid artery aneurysms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Cerebrovascular Disease

    Background:

    • Traumatic aneurysms of the intracavernous carotid artery are rare but serious vascular lesions.
    • Management of these aneurysms presents significant surgical challenges due to their location within the cavernous sinus.

    Observation:

    • This study presents five cases of traumatic aneurysms involving the intracavernous carotid artery.
    • Two cases underwent direct surgical approach using profound hypothermia and circulatory arrest.
    • The remaining three cases were managed with either trapping or ligation techniques.

    Findings:

    • Direct surgical clipping of traumatic aneurysms in the cavernous sinus proved difficult and less effective.
    • Surgical trapping or ligation emerged as more successful treatment modalities for these specific aneurysms.

  • Intracavernous sinus surgery is feasible, but direct clipping of traumatic carotid artery aneurysms is not recommended.

    • Implications:

    • These findings suggest that endovascular or surgical trapping techniques are superior to direct clipping for traumatic intracavernous carotid artery aneurysms.
    • Optimal treatment strategies should prioritize methods that minimize direct manipulation within the cavernous sinus.
    • Further research into minimally invasive techniques for managing these challenging aneurysms is warranted.
