Abstract
Intracavernous carotid artery aneurysm following head injury is a rare occurrence. Two such cases presenting with delayed but massive and re peated epistaxis are reported and the literature reviewed. The first c ase required a trapping procedure while the second case had only cervi cal carotid ligation to control the bleeding. Both resulted in no neur ological sequelae.
