Head Computed Tomography (CT) scan revealed a small intracerebral hematoma in the left middle cranial fossa associated with temporal fracture (Figure 1(a)). A multislice angioCT scan revealed a pseudoaneurysm of meningeal middle artery underneath temporal fracture (Figure 1(b)). Sequentially, the patient was submitted to cerebral angiogram that revealed active bleeding from the left MMA and an active extravasation of contrast media, and a pseudoaneurysm with 0.3 cm in diameter, that had arisen from the anterior branch of the left MMA (Figure 1(c)).
