Abstract
- Pseudoaneurysm, or false aneurysm, rarely presents as a cause of facial tumor. Among the cases of pseudoaneurysm reported in the world literature, more than 75% have been of a traumatic origin. Pseudoaneurysm most frequently arises in the superficial temporal artery, but the pseudoaneurysm of our present case arose in the supraorbital artery, and this type of presentation has been only rarely reported on. The most typical clinical findings consist of a tender, growing, pulsating nodule. We report here on a case of pseudoaneurysm that was due to trauma, and the tumor was pulseless. This lesion was treated with percutaneous glue embolization.
