    BackgroundTraumatic injury of the posterior communicating artery or the basilar artery causing arteriovenous fistulae is rare.Case DescriptionHere we report an unusual case of the coincidence of a posterior communicating artery-cavernous sinus fistula and a basilar artery-cavernous sinus fistula associated with traumatic pseudoaneurysms of the posterior communicating and basilar arteries. The fistulas and pseudoaneurysms were obliterated completely after staged endovascular surgery via a transarterial and transvenous route.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first such report worldwide.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
