Sphenoid sinus pseudoaneurysm and CCF rarely occur following head trauma through a series of processes involving fracture of the lateral wall of the sphenoid sinus and ICA cavernous segment injury. Sphenoid sinus pseudoaneurysm may present as SAH through intracranial rupture with concomitant superior wall fracture of the sphenoid sinus. Therefore, early diagnosis using CT or magnetic resonance angiography and appropriate treatment through understanding the disease mechanism is necessary.
