| Abstract: | The Authors report a rare case of traumatic aneurysm of the internal carotid artery observed in a 19-year-old man after a car accident. The aneurysm was recognized by cerebral angiography performed immediately after trauma and clipped to avoid delayed rupture. The literature on traumatic aneurysms is reviewed. |
