ABSTRACT
Traumatic pseudoaneurysms of the cavernous portion of the internal carotid artery(ICA) presenting with epistaxis are uncommon and potentially lethal complication of head injury. Because the onset of delayed bleeding from the time of injury is variable, prompt diagnosis and treatment of cavernous ICA pseudoaneurysm is important. A patient with a giant traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the left ICA presented with massive epistaxis 5 months after a head trauma. This patient was treated with occlusion of the opening of pseudoaneurysm and ICA by a detachable balloon and fibered coils.
