✓ Four cases of traumatic intracranial aneurysms are presented and the pathology and pathophysiology discussed. Two were successfully treated by direct surgical attack.

The outcome of bleeding episodes is fatal in a significant number of cases. Surgery to obliterate the aneurysm is the treatment of choice.
