“…The main etiological factors include arteriosclerosis, trauma, infections, cystic medial necrosis, fibromuscular dysplasia and congenital anomalies [15]. In the literature, pseudoaneurysms of the branches of external carotid artery have been reported following tonsillectomy [16], neck dissection [17,18] and ORIF of a mandibular fracture [19,20], Le Fort I osteotomies [21,22], temporomandibular joint surgery [23,24], and mandibular vertical ramus osteotomy [25]. Majority of reports have described blunt trauma [14,26,27] and penetrating injuries [4,[28][29][30] as the most common etiological factor.…”

“…Physical findings are pulsatile swelling, pain, associated palpable thrill, audible bruit or unexplained neurological deficits. Pathognomonic presence of pulsatile mass or a typical systolic bruit during auscultation [19]. Needle aspiration of suspicious lesions should be avoided because of the risk of bleeding which may be difficult to control in an office setting [31].…”

“…Though contrast enhanced CT defines the dimensions of the lesion and its relation to surrounding structures, but may not clearly show the vascular abnormalities in partially developed pseudoaneurysms. Thus angiography becomes an essential tool to confirm the diagnosis [19]. Differential diagnosis includes hematoma, abscess, inflamed lymph node, lipoma, cyst, and pleomorphic adenoma [31].…”

Pseudoaneurysms of the branches of the external carotid artery as a result of trauma are rare in oral and maxillofacial surgery practice. The most affected branches are the superficial temporal artery, internal maxillary artery and distal part of facial artery, usually where they pass over the bone. Very few cases of facial artery pseudoaneurysms of proximal parts (from external carotid artery up to the lower border of the mandible) are reported in the literature. We present a review of literature for management of late post-traumatic pseudoaneurysmal cyst and a case report involving proximal part of facial artery in the submandibular region following open reduction and rigid fixation of the condylar fracture in a 25-year-old male. To our knowledge this is the fourth reported case of proximal facial artery pseudoaneurysm.

Maxillofacial injuries are most commonly associated with falls, motor and vehicle accidents, sportsrelated trauma, and interpersonal violence. The complexity of mandibular condyle region and its anatomic proximity to other craniofacial structures complicate diagnosis and treatment. Thus, treatment approaches of mandibular condyle fracture are still controversial. In the literature, different success rates are reported about observation versus treatment, closed reduction versus open reduction and fixation methods. In the present article, controversial issues related to mandibular condyle fractures were reviewed under the light of current literature. In conclusion, the simplest way that can be done with the least risk of complication should be chosen during treatment planning. In addition, current adjunctive treatment methods accelerating healing of fracture should be considered. Key words: Open reduction, closed reduction, fracture, mandibular condyle, temporomandibular joint. ÖZETÇene-yüz yaralanmaları en sık duşmeler, motorlu taşıt kazaları, sporla ilgili travma ve bireyler arası şiddetle ilişkilendirilir. Mandibular kondil bölgesinin karmaşıklığı ve bölgenin diğer kraniyofasiyal yapılara anatomik yakınlığı tanı ve tedaviyi zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu sebeple mandibular kondil kırıklarının tedavi yaklaşımları halen tartışmalıdır. Literatürde gözleme karşı tedavi, kapalı reduksiyona karşı açık reduksiyon ve fiksasyon metodlarıyla ilgili farklı başarı oranları bildirilmektedir. Bu makalede, mandibular kondil kırıkları ile ilgili tartışmalı hususlar güncel literatür ışığı altında derlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak; tedavi planlamasında en az komplikasyon riskiyle yapılabilecek en basit yol seçilmelidir. Ek olarak; kırık iyileşmesini hızlandıran güncel destekleyici tedavi yöntemleri göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
