title: Incidental traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the middle meningeal artery: case report and literature review.
abstract: Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the middle meningeal artery is rare and is     associated with high mortality. Skull fracture is usually an associated feature     of this entity. An elderly male was brought to our hospital in a stage of coma.     The details of ictus were not known. The Glasgow coma scale score was 9/15.     Examination revealed a pseudo-aneurysm arising from the posterior branch of the     left middle meningeal artery which was excised. The case is presented for its     rarity and its characteristic radiology. Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of middle     meningeal artery is rare. It is important to recognize this treatable entity.
