Abstract

Coil migration and extrusion outside the cranial compartment after embolization of cerebral aneurysms represents a very rare complication of the endovascular procedures and few cases are reported in the literature. Instability of the vascular malformation wall and the resolution of the intramural hematoma, especially in pseudoaneurysm, might generate extravascular migration of the coils in the first months after embolization. However, to the best of our knowledge, an extrusion of coil 10 years after embolization has never been reported. We reported the unique case of a patient with coil extrusion into the naso- and oropharynx 10 years after internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm embolization. The pseudoaneurysm occurred after an internal carotid artery injury during an endoscopic endonasal surgery for a clival giant cell tumor.
