N-butyl cyanoacrylate embolization of a traumatic pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula of the middle meningeal artery

We report a case of combined traumatic pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula of the middle meningeal artery, which presented clinically 1 year after initial head trauma. A 39-year-old male presented with seizure activity after a closed head injury from a fall. He was hospitalized for multiple int...

A 39-year-old male presented with seizure activity after a closed head injury from a fall.

The pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula were successfully embolized with n-butyl cyanoacrylate.
