| Abstract | A case of giant traumatic false aneurysm of the intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) with a concomitant carotid-cavernous fistula is reported. The fistula and the aneurysm persisted after ipsilateral cervical ICA ligation was performed elsewhere. Successful obliteration of the aneurysm and the fistula, with preservation of cross filling of the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery system, was accomplished by ligation of the intracranial ICA proximal to the origin of the posterior communicating artery with a 7-0 prolene suture, followed by transaneurysmal packing of the fistula. |
