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.

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.

A Rare Case of Coronary Artery Dilatation and Giant Pseudoaneurysm.

Project description:Coronary artery fistula are anomalous connections with coronary vessels or cardiac chambers, potentially resulting in coronary dilatation and pseudoaneurysm formation. We present the case of a 68-year-old woman referred to our institution for a voluminous coronary pseudoaneurysm secondary to coronary artery fistula presenting as a nearly completely obstructive left atrial mass. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

LV Pseudoaneurysm With Concomitant Mitral Valve Defect After LV Summit Ablation: A Rare Late Complication.

Project description:A 25-year-old male patient with highly symptomatic, monomorphic, premature ventricular contractions presented for repeat ablation after failed endocardial ablation. Three weeks after excessive endocardial and epicardial ablation on the left ventricular summit, the patient was admitted again with tamponade following a pseudoaneurysm on the ablation site. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm: a rare acute complication of radiofrequency catheter ablation for premature ventricular contraction.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Radiofrequency catheter ablation is approved effective therapy for premature ventricular contraction. However, the rare but serious complication such as pseudoaneurysm should be given more attention. It is life-threatening due to the high risk of rupture. Only few cases have been reported in the literature. We herein report a huge acute left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after catheter ablation therapy. CASE PRESENTATION:A 69-year-old man underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation for premature ventricular contraction at a local hospital. The patient developed shock the second day after ablation. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed pericardial effusion. Pericardiocentesis was performed, and the puncture fluid was a bloody pericardial effusion. The transthoracic echocardiogram revealed an 9-?×?4-cm giant pseudoaneurysm with a cystic structure in the left ventricular inferior wall near the mitral annulus along the left atrium. The pseudoaneurysm was connected to the left ventricular cavity through a 8-mm neck, and the lumen was filled with systolic and diastolic blood flow. The patient underwent three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography. The pseudoaneurysm and the tract was clearly visible. Emergency surgery was performed to resect the pseudoaneurysm. A bovine pericardial patch was placed on the neck of the pseudoaneurysm. Echocardiographic examination confirmed the absence of cardiac lesions after the operation. CONCLUSIONS:It is rare to see such a large pseudoaneurysm after radiofrequency catheter ablation. Clinicians should be allert to the potential risks to patients in the process of an effective treatment. Echocardiography plays an important role in the prompt diagnosis and prognosis of this disease. Emergency surgery is a better method for treatment of huge pseudoaneurysm.

Aortopulmonary artery fistula: A rare complication of balloon dilatation of the pulmonary artery

Project description:Acquired aortopulmonary fistula (APF) in the setting of repaired congenital heart disease is extremely rare but potentially fatal, so timely diagnosis and treatment are critical. We present a case of an 8-year-old female with a history of complex Taussig-Bing anomaly, who underwent an arterial switch procedure with LeCompte maneuver and ventricular septal defect closure early in life. The patient developed neopulmonary stenosis and branch pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis, for which she underwent patch augmentation and balloon dilatation of the left PA. The patient presented with a fistula between the ascending aorta and the left branch PA, confirmed by echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. She underwent repair of the APF with a homograft patch reconstruction of the ascending aorta.
