A traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the vertebral artery

Ian Coulter et al. Br J Neurosurg. 2011 Jun.

Although uncommon, vertebral artery pseudoaneurysms harbour significant risk of embolic stroke and their presence should be considered in cases of blunt cervical trauma. We illustrate a case of a traumatically ruptured vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm treated with coil embolisation.
