Aneurysms arising from the intracavernous portion of the internal carotid artery very rarely rupture. A patient is presented in whom rupture of an aneurysm wholly within the cavernous sinus caused a subarachnoid hemorrhage. The aneurysm was successfully clipped via a direct surgical approach. The possible mechanism by which subarachnoid hemorrhage occurred is briefly discussed.

Subdural hemorrhage in the posterior fossa caused by a ruptured cavernous carotid artery aneurysm after a balloon occlusion test. Case report.
TLDR
A woman who harbored a partially thrombosed, giant cavernous aneurysm that ruptured after she underwent a balloon occlusion test (BOT) and predominately led to an SDH is described, believed to be the first such report in the English literature.
Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm after medical prolactinoma treatment
TLDR
The case of spontaneous SAH from rupture of a cavernous ICA aneurysm in a patient whose large prolactinoma had markedly decreased in size as the result of cabergoline treatment is reported, suggesting that an eroding skull base lesion may distort normal anterior cranial base anatomy and allow communication between the cavernousICA and subarachnoid space.
Republished: Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured cavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm after medical prolactinoma treatment
TLDR
The case of spontaneous SAH from rupture of a cavernous ICA aneurysm in a patient whose large prolactinoma had markedly decreased in size as the result of cabergoline treatment is reported, suggesting that an eroding skull base lesion may distort normal anterior cranial base anatomy and allow communication between the cavernousICA and subarachnoid space.
Acute subdural hematoma caused by a ruptured giant intracavernous aneurysm: case report.
TLDR
This is the first reported case of a patient who survived an acute subdural hematoma caused by an intracavernous carotid artery aneurysm and at 2-year follow-up, the patient continues to do well.

Report of intradural aneurysm in the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage and oculomotor palsy
TLDR
Intradural rupture of proximal cavernous segment carotid aneurysms is rare and the literate for such cases is reviewed to discuss the possible causes.
Mycotic Aneurysm of the Intracavernous Carotid Artery Caused by Parapharyngeal Space Abscess; A Case Report.
A mycotic aneurysm of the intracavernous carotid artery developed following a parapharyngeal abscess in a 55-year-old woman. The patient was admitted to our hospital with a 10-day history of trismus…
The benign course of cavernous carotid artery aneurysms.
TLDR
It is concluded that an aneurysm of the cavernous carotid artery is rarely associated with life-threatening complications, and treatment should be considered principally for patients with intolerable pain or problems related to vision.
Microsurgical Strategy and Surgical Results in Carotid Ophthalmic Artery Aneurysms
Carotid ophthalmic artery aneurysms are of special interest because the direct microsurgical clipping procedure requires a special surgical strategy and technique. Worthy of mention are temporary…
Endovascular treatment strategy for direct carotid-cavernous fistulas resulting from rupture of intracavernous carotid aneurysms.
TLDR
Embolization with detachable balloons should be a safe and effective method to immediately occlude the fistula in patients with sudden ocular symptoms due to rupture of an intracavernous aneurysm.
