J Neurosurg Sci. 1987 Oct-Dec;31(4):173-5.

Abstract

The Authors report a rare case of traumatic aneurysm of the internal carotid artery observed in a 19-year-old man after a car accident. The aneurysm was recognized by cerebral angiography performed immediately after trauma and clipped to avoid delayed rupture. The literature on traumatic aneurysms is reviewed.
