Introduction. Intracavernous aneurysms of the carotid artery (ICAs) can produce symptoms through mass effect of the aneurysm on adjacent structures or through rupture, which leads to carotid cavernous fistula or occasionally to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) if the aneurysm extends through the dura.n one patient, one aneurysm was treated by occlusion of the parent vessel and the other by embolization with coils.

Aortic Aneurysm: What You Need to Know Aneurysms may be characterized by a severe, pulsing pain in the chest (thoracic aneurysm) or lower back (abdominal aneurysm). Many aneurysms are caused by atherosclerosis, a buildup of fatty plaque in the artery. People with certain connective tissue disorders may also be at risk. Treatment is based on an aneurysmâs size and rate of growth. Surgery is often needed to repair the aneurysm and avert a potential rupture.
