Abstract:
Pseudoaneurysm which is also known as a false aneurysm is caused by extravasation of blood from the injured vessel
wall which is contained by the surrounding soft tissue. It does not contain any layer of the vessel wall and can expand as more and more blood collects. We are reporting a case of an 18-year-old Indian gentleman who presented
with complaint of left neck swelling after being involved in a motor vehicle accident. Examination showed a softly
pulsating swelling at the angle of the left mandible. CT angiogram revealed a pseudoaneurysm of a branch of the left
facial artery. The pseudoaneurysm was embolized by using histoacryl glue. Pseudoaneurysm should be considered
as a differential diagnosis in patients with a pulsatile mass after trauma.
