Abstract

We describe a case of a 22-year-old man with a traumatic occipital artery pseudoaneurysm revealed by a painful expanding neck hematoma after a penetrating knife injury. A neuroendovascular consultation was requested after a computed tomography angiogram showed active pseudoaneurysm bleeding. Anatomical considerations of the upper cervical region including dangerous anastomosis between the vertebral and internal carotid artery are discussed, illustrating how this impacted our treatment strategy. We also discuss other treatment modalities after a thorough literature review of traumatic occipital artery pseudoaneurysms.
