A TREATMENT OF PSEUDOANEURYSM AFTER BSSRO USING SONO-GUIDED COMPRESSION:CASE REPORT

ABSTRACT

A false aneurysms of the head and neck are rare lesions. Their histologic characteristic is quite different from that of true aneurism in that their wall consists of false endothelial lining only. Until recently their treatment was by a variety of surgical approaches or angiographic embolization. But, because of their aggressive behavior and possible complications, more consevative approach like a sono-guided compression has been sucessfully reported by some authors. The advantages of this method is that it is safe, less aggressive and not complicated procedure. We report a case of false aneurysm of facial artery after BSSRO, which was successfully treated by sono-guided compression.
