Pseudoaneurysm of the internal maxillary artery: a rare complication of condylar fracture.

ABSTRACT: Pseudoaneurysms are among very rare complications of maxillofacial trauma. When encountered, they have the potential to cause life-threatening hemorrhage. A wise surgeon should consider the possibility of underlying aneurysm even if the classic sign of pulsatile mass is not present. The role of interventional radiology is immaculate in the management of these aneurysms.

Left maxillary artery pseudoaneurysm: a rare and late postoperative complication after head and neck cancer treatment.

Project description:We report a case of a 50-year-old man presented with pulsatile swelling in the left side of the face since 2 months and a continuous sinus discharge since 3 days. Three years earlier, he was operated for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the left lower alveolus and underwent surgical excision with myocutaneous flap reconstruction, followed by chemoradiotherapy. CT angiogram of the expansile swelling revealed pseudoaneurysm of third part of the left maxillary artery and treated by surgical intervention.

Treatment of pseudoaneurysm of internal maxillary artery: a case report.

Project description:Pseudoaneurysms are rare lesions secondary to blunt or penetrating trauma, temporomandibular joint surgery, or orthognathic surgery. Nonsurgical interventions are the treatment of choice for pseudoaneurysms. In the case reported here, endovascular injection of acrylic glue was successful in the treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the internal maxillary artery secondary to fracture of the zygomatic bone.

Lumbar Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Complication of Percutaneous Nephrostomy.

Project description:A 21 year-old male underwent nephrostomy tube insertion for hydronephrosis due to a large para-aortic adenopathy of a testicular tumor. In order to reduce infections during chemotherapy, a ureteral stent was placed. While removing the nephrostomy tube, a pulsatile bleeding was found and a renal angiography was done. A pseudoaneurysm of his first left lumbar (L1) artery communicating with the nephrostomy's access site was found. An embolization was performed with coils in the left L1 artery and one of its subdivisions. Post-embolization controls revealed no bleeding. On the follow-up CT, there were no suspicious retroperitoneal mass.

Case of maxillary actinomycotic osteomyelitis, a rare post COVID complication-case report.

Project description:Introductionand Importance: Maxillary actinomycosis is a persistent, very rare disease produced by Actinomyces species which may include only soft tissue or bone or the two together. Actinomycotic osteomyelitis of maxilla is very infrequent when compared to mandible.Case presentationHere we are conferring a case of an elderly male patient who had history of COVID-19 infection 4 months ago, with constant complaint of non-remitting vague pain in the region of maxilla with tooth loosening and extractions. He was given a provisional diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis of maxilla which was later on proved by histopathology as actinomycotic osteomyelitis.Clinical discussionA saprophytic fungus causes mucor mycosis, and it is quite unusual. Strawberry gingivitis is one of the signs and symptoms. Mucormycosis and post-covid oral maxillofacial problems can be improved with early diagnosis. Oral Mucormycosis should be suspected in individuals with weakened immune systems, uncontrolled diabetes or post-covid instances. Surgery and adequate antibiotic treatment are necessary to treat actinomycosis. Infection may return after a period of inactivity, so long-term follow-up is necessary.ConclusionWe conclude a positive causal association between COVID-19 and actinomycosis. Maxillary osteomyelitis, a very rare infection, and in our case, the causative organism was Actinomyces Patients who have been infected should be tested for Actinomycin, which may masquerade as a head and neck illness.

Hemoperitoneum, Hepatic Laceration, and Hepatic Artery Pseudoaneurysm as a Complication of Emergent Pericardiocentesis.

Project description:Emergent pericardiocentesis is a potentially life-saving therapeutic procedure. We report a case of hemoperitoneum, a rare but known complication of pericardiocentesis; due to hepatic artery laceration and hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm formation resulting in delayed hemorrhagic shock as a complication of emergent pericardiocentesis. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Two Rare Cases of Posttraumatic Peripheral Artery Pseudoaneurysm.

Project description:Posttraumatic pseudoaneurysms of the lower limb are increasingly recognized due to the development of cross-sectional imaging. Two cases of anterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysm after blunt trauma are presented. The diagnostic technique of choice is Doppler ultrasound (US). In some cases, computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is needed to identify the feeding vessel. The treatment of choice is not yet determined. Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection is widely used as first-line treatment, but some cases are refractory to this treatment. Further investigation and optimization of therapeutic technique to definitely exclude the pseudoaneurysm from the circulation may result in faster and more cost-effective treatment than US-guided thrombin injection.
