Aneurysms of the distal branches of the external carotid artery are rare lesions and are usually described as traumatic in origin. These vessels become vulnerable to injury through their course over bone surfaces of the skull. We report a case of an occipital artery aneurysm after blunt trauma that was effectively treated with selective endovascular coil occlusion. To the best of our knowledge, there are no similar cases described in the literature. …
