Abstract EN
Pseudoaneurysm of the internal maxillary artery due to a traumatic event is a rare condition.
Pseudoaneurysms are usually directly produced by arteries break with extravasation of blood.
The compressed perivascular tissue forms the wall of aneurysmal sac.
Then, this sac gradually expands and can be damaged.
It is rare to see pseudoaneurysms of IMA.
They are usually associated with fracture of the neck of the mandible.
To the best of our knowledge the pseudoaneurysm of the internal maxillary artery related to maxillofacial trauma is an event extremely rare in the literature and if not quickly managed can lead to the patient’s death.
This case underlines how the close cooperation between surgeons and radiologists results in a quick diagnosis and management of such pathological events.
