Extradural hematoma associated with traumatic middle meningeal artery pseudoaneurysm: report of two cases. 1979

R Garza-Mercado, and R A Rangel

Two new cases of extradural hematoma associated with traumatic middle meningeal artery pseudoaneurysm are presented. Sixteen such cases have previously been reported in the literature. A 22-year-old man and a 17-year-old woman each developed marked neurological deficits after head injury. In each case percutaneous common carotid angiography demonstrated a conspicuous aneurysmatic sac on the middle meningeal artery, as well as displacement of major intracranial vessels and a surrounding avascular area. At operation the extradural clot was removed and the middle meningeal artery sac was verified. Both patients recovered uneventfully. Histological analysis of one of the specimens was performed.

D002532	Intracranial Aneurysm	Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.

D006259	Craniocerebral Trauma	Traumatic injuries involving the cranium and intracranial structures (i.e., BRAIN; CRANIAL NERVES; MENINGES; and other structures). Injuries may be classified by whether or not the skull is penetrated (i.e., penetrating vs. nonpenetrating) or whether there is an associated hemorrhage.

D006407	Hematoma, Epidural, Cranial	Accumulation of blood in the EPIDURAL SPACE between the SKULL and the DURA MATER, often as a result of bleeding from the MENINGEAL ARTERIES associated with a temporal or parietal bone fracture. Epidural hematoma tends to expand rapidly, compressing the dura and underlying brain. Clinical features may include HEADACHE; VOMITING; HEMIPARESIS; and impaired mental function.
