Abstract
Iatrogenic internal carotid artery (ICA) injuries during transsphenoidal pituitary tumor surgery are extremely rare but are associated with potentially disabling or life-threatening complications. Management options of ICA injuries are sacrifice, embolization, and endoluminal reconstruction. We report a case of ICA injury during transsphenoidal pituitary macroadenoma surgery, which was managed with endovascular covered stent placement for left carotid-ophthalmic pseudoaneurysm.
