AB Infectious intracavernous carotid artery aneurysms usually present with
ophthalmoplegia and/or signs of cavernous sinus thrombosis. We report an
unusual case in which a patient with AIDS presented with intractable
epistaxis secondary to rupture of a giant infectious intracavernous
carotid artery aneurysm. Culture of the aneurysm grew mycobacterium
avium intracellulare (MAI). The patient was treated successfully by
excision of the aneurysm and reconstruction of the internal carotid
artery with a saphenous vein interposition graft.
