Internal carotid false aneurysm after thermocoagulation of the gasserian ganglion. Abstract Text:
OBJECTIVE:: To identify petrous internal carotid bleeding aneurysm as a complication of gasserian ganglion thermocoagulation. PATIENTS:: A single case presenting with epistaxis and otorrhagia 1 month after gasserian ganglion thermocoagulation in the treatment of refractory trigeminal neuralgia. INTERVENTION(S):: Gasserian ganglion thermocoagulation, computed tomographic scan, and angiocomputed tomographic scan revealing petrous internal carotid ruptured aneurysm and internal carotid embolization. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):: Radiologic diagnosis of the vascular injury after gasserian ganglion thermocoagulation. RESULTS:: Radiologic identification of ruptured internal carotid artery as the cause of simultaneous epistaxis and otorrhagia. CONCLUSION:: Gasserian ganglion thermocoagulation may cause aneurysm and rupture of the petrous portion of the internal carotid artery.
