Coil Embolization of a Pseudoaneurysm of the Petrous Internal Carotid Artery Presenting with Otorrhagia: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract: : Otorrhagia is not a common manifestation of petrous internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm. Besides idiopathic cases, different etiologies, including trauma, infection, and radiation, have been suggested for petrous ICA aneurysms/pseudoaneurysms. However, there is limited experience in the management of this rare aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm with coil embolization. A 58-year-old man, who was a known case of chronic otitis media, was referred from the otorhinolaryngology ward with intractable bleeding from the rig… Show more

“…However, since access to the petrous segment of the ICA is challenging, open surgery is not the primary intervention. Today, minimally invasive endovascular techniques, such as coil embolization and stenting, have replaced open surgery [9].…”
