Nontraumatic Intracavernous Carotid Aneurysm Presenting with Epistaxis

Abstract

A 54 year-old woman who suddenly developed severe, recurrent epistaxis was found to have a nontraumatic intracavernous carotid aneurysm.
There have been only 15 other reports of ruptured nontraumatic intracavernous aneurysms presenting with massive epistaxis. The radiological investigations and management of this patient is discussed.
