Zusammenfassung: | •Aneurysmal like lesions along the middle meningeal artery are a rare pathology.•Embolization of middle meningeal artery aneurysms is a safe treatment option.•Incidence of middle meningeal artery aneurysms is expected to increase.•Middle meningeal pseudoaneurysms are associated with skull fractures.•Middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematomas.
Pseudoaneurysms of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) are a rare pathology. Here we present a case of a patient with a non-surgical traumatic subdural hemorrhage, whom was found to have three unruptured aneurysmal lesions along the middle meningeal artery. The patient underwent successful endovascular embolization of his MMA and its aneurysmal lesions. This case presents a unique morphology of a rare disease treated safely and effectively using endovascular embolization. |
