Bilateral Ophthalmic Artery Dissecting Aneurysms Presenting with Recurrent Epistaxis

J Vasc Interv Neurol. 2017 Jan;9(3):14-16.

Abstract

We present a rare case of bilateral expanding traumatic pseudoaneurysms of the ophthalmic arteries, due to a gunshot. The aneurysms presented with epistaxis. After a failure of conservative management, coil embolization of the aneurysms resulted in complete occlusion, with preservation of flow in the parent vessels.
