The decision to treat asymptomatic and unruptured ICCAs remains challenging due to their benign natural history and low hemorrhagic risk. The presence of sphenoid sinus erosion or dehiscence should not be overlooked since it could be considered as an indication for prophylactic treatment of life-threatening epistaxis. The mechanisms of bone erosion by the aneurysm and of reconstruction after treatment are still to be fully elucidated.
