Combining Endovascular Coiling and Open Evacuation for a Delayed-Onset Ruptured Post-traumatic Pseudoaneurysm of the Distal Paracentral Pericallosal Artery Branch.

Cerebrovascular pseudoaneurysm development and rupture is a rare, delayed sequelae of trauma. We present a case of a female patient in her sixties who presented after a fall without evidence of vascular injury on imaging. However, after one week, repeat imaging due to an abrupt change in mental status revealed a ruptured pseudoaneurysm, which was treated with a combination of coil embolization and open surgical evacuation of associated intracranial hematoma. This case illustrates the importance of continued surveillance beyond the acute traumatic period to identify late-onset complications in trauma patients requiring emergent treatment.
