Post traumatic ophthalmic artery pseudoaneurysm




A young man had a missile injury to his right eye, following which the globe ruptured and was removed. After few days, he developed sudden proptosis severe pain in the right orbit.
A contrast CT scan showed a large oval contrast filled structure filling half the right orbit and some soft tissue.

A DSA was performed which showed a large pseudoaneurysm of the right ophthalmic artery.
Embolisation was performed and a single GDC coil was deployed in the ophthalmic artery proximal to the aneurysm which was completely excluded.
