Nasopharyngeal Migration of Coils Following Embolization of a Traumatic Pseudoaneurysm of the Internal Carotid Artery: A Case Report.

Post-traumatic pseudoaneurysms of the internal carotid are a rare but potentially fatal cause of epistaxis; they are associated with fractures of the base of the skull with involvement of the carotid canal. Endovascular management is the preferred therapeutic strategy, with optimal long-term results and low complication rates. Complications may include thromboembolic events, infarction of perforating arteries, and rupture of the pseudoaneurysm.
