%X Authors describe a case of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of cavernous internal carotid artery in a young male who presented with complaints of progressive decrease in vision, inability to move the eye, and delayed epistaxis 8 months after the head injury sustained during a motor vehicle accident. The presence of optic atrophy and epistaxis in the setting of head trauma alerted the authors to look for this potentially life-threatening condition. Timely intervention in the form of endovascular coil occlusion of the internal carotid artery was performed and the epistaxis stopped without any ischaemic or thromboembolic sequaelae
