Case series uncovers effective management strategies for intracranial carotid artery blowout syndrome, suggesting the need for more research.
ICABS is rare and often fatal. It frequently occurs after radiation therapy for head and neck cancer or iatrogenically during transsphenoidal surgery. First-line treatment for acute ICABS is often EVT, as it offers a rapid means of halting further hemorrhage. Emerging technologies have allowed for more vessel-preserving strategies and warrant further investigation. Herein, an evidence-based algorithm is provided to help guide management.
