- Abstract: Traumatic pseudoaneurysms are uncommon vascular lesions that can result from traumatic injuries to the nasal and facial areas. They pose a significant clinical challenge due to their potential to cause recurrent and life-threatening epistaxis. Understanding the underlying vascular anatomy, causes, and treatment options is essential for optimizing patient outcomes. In this case report, we present a 55-year-old man who developed a traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the sphenoid sinus, arising from the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery following a traumatic incident. This case was successfully managed with stent-assisted coil embolization.
