RESUMO
Bilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery is a rare anomaly of embryonic development frequently associated with intracranial aneurysm. We describe a case involving an aneurysm that burst in the third middle of the basilar artery and exhibited a bilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery. The aneurysm was treated via an endovascular route using detachable coils.

Penetrating head and face injuries can cause hemorrhages, neurological lesions, visual acuity loss, fractures and facial deformities. This report discusses an injury caused by a knife that penetrated the left orbit and reached the skull base without damaging any important structures. The knife was removed through the entrance wound and no complications were observed either during or after surgery.
