Blunt head injuries with sphenoid sinus fractures and epistaxis require prompt evaluation for traumatic aneurysms. Angiography timing varies, with endovascular techniques showing promise for treating these vascular injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Blunt head injuries can lead to traumatic aneurysms (TAs) in the intracranial carotid artery.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • Twelve cases of intracranial carotid artery TAs were analyzed.
  • TAs were predominantly of cranial base origin, often associated with sphenoid sinus fractures and hematomas.
  • Delayed aneurysm detection occurred in two cases, highlighting the need for serial imaging.

Findings:

  • Sphenoid sinus fractures with epistaxis warrant immediate TA evaluation.
  • Angiography should be deferred 2-3 weeks if fractures lack epistaxis; repeat angiography is advised for recurrent epistaxis.
  • Endovascular techniques were effective in treating TAs with no reported morbidity.

Implications:

  • Timely angiographic evaluation protocols are essential for managing TAs post-head trauma.
  • Endovascular occlusion is a primary treatment modality for TAs.
  • Extracranial-to-intracranial bypass surgery is an alternative for complex cases or when endovascular treatment fails.
