Endovascular Treatment of Traumatic Pericallosal Artery Aneurysms

Abstract

Traumatic pericallosal artery aneurysms are rare complications of blunt head trauma. The pericallosal artery is torn under the sharp edge of the rigid falx. CT shows a typical hematoma in the corpus callosum. Endovascular treatment with occlusion of the aneurysm including the parent vessel with coils or glue is the best treatment option.
