MASSIVE EPlSTAXlS FROM TRAUMATIC ANEURYSM OF THE INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY

Abstract: Intracavernous carotid artery aneurysm following head injury is a rare occurrence. Two such cases presenting with delayed but massive and repeated epistaxis are reported and the literature reviewed. The first case required a trapping procedure while the second case had only cervical carotid ligation to control the bleeding. Both resulted in no neurological sequelae.
