Abstract

|
|
Pseudoaneurysms occur when there is a partial disruption in the wall of a blood vessel and can cause delayed rupture and massive hemorrhage. Most pseudoaneurysms of the face form as a result of blunt, penetrating, or surgical trauma. As the small diameter of the facial artery and its deep and protected location, facial artery pseudoaneurysms of proximal parts caused by blunt trauma are very rare and has never been reported in Korea. The authors report a case of posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of the facial artery in a 45-year-old male, who was treated with percutaneous embolization and hematoma evacuation.
