Multiple intracranial aneurysms presenting with epistaxis.

Although epistaxis secondary to rupture of a post-traumatic, false aneurysm is well documented, true intracavernous carotid artery aneurysms presenting with epistaxis are very rare. We present such a case in a patient with multiple aneurysms. The aneurysm was treated by endovascular techniques and the patient made a good recovery. This case highlights the need to distinguish between true and false aneurysms for both diagnostic and therapeutic reasons.
