A pseudoaneurysm of the facial artery is a rare event. It results from vessel wall disruption with blood tamponade from the surrounding tissues, and is usually caused by blunt facial trauma, with other etiologies rarely reported. We present two cases of a pseudoaneurysm in the facial artery territory in an odontogenic infection setting, highlighting the importance of computed tomography angiography for diagnosis and hastening treatment by vascular embolization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
