Abstract:
Cirsoid aneurysm of the scalp is difficult to manage because of complicated vascular anatomy and massive intraoperative hemorrhage. The authors report a patient in whom a large cirsoid aneurysm of the scalp was eliminated by excision after proximal ligation of the main feeder. Where possible, total excision followed by proximal ligation of feeders may be a effective ablative technique to manage cirsoid aneurysm of the scalp.
