    BackgroundTraumatic intracranial aneurysms are rare complications after head trauma. This report describes the case of a patient with a traumatic pericallosal aneurysm.Case DescriptionA 73-year-old man developed headache and lower limb paresis, and emergency computed tomography scan revealed a hematoma in the corpus callosum. We performed coil embolization for a pericallosal aneurysm, but follow-up angiography showed recurrence of the aneurysm 6 days after the surgery. We diagnosed this as a traumatic aneurysm and subsequently performed parent artery occlusion without any complications.ConclusionsWe performed parent artery occlusion for a traumatic aneurysm of the pericallosal artery without complications. Pericallosal aneurysms are rare, but we must consider them when encountering a delayed hematoma around the corpus callosum.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
