Traumatic pseudoaneurysm is a rare lesion with a high risk of rupture, and represents one of the most difficult lesions to treat, either surgically or endovascularly.

The patient recovered well, and the follow-up angiography at four months showed complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm and patency of the internal carotid artery and the ophthalmic artery.
