Abstract
We report a 52-year-old man with progressive disturbance of visual acuity following a head injury. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an aneurysm of the internal carotid artery. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) 57 days after onset found that the aneurysm originated in the proximal ophthalmic artery. We treated the patient with an intravascular coil embolization, partially filling the aneurysm. Follow-up DSA indicated that the aneurysm did not recur.Entities:
