Traumatic basilar pseudoaneurysm with a basilar-cavernous arteriovenous fistula

Neuroradiology. 2001 Mar;43(3):249-53. doi: 10.1007/s002340000466.

Abstract

A traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the basilar artery with a basilar-cavernous sinus arteriovenous fistula was diagnosed in a 12-year-old girl using CT, MRI and angiography. It was successfully treated by coil embolisation. We speculate on the mode of formation of this rare traumatic lesion.
