Abstract
Pseudoaneurysm in the head and neck region is very rare and mainly related to maxillofacial trauma or orthognathic surgery. The aim of the present case report is to describe a case of pseudoaneurysm of the facial artery in a 22-year-old male patient who had been submitted to bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy without intraoperative bleeding. Angiography examination revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the left facial artery. The treatment consisted of endovascular embolization of the facial artery with pseudoaneurysm resolution. It was concluded that pseudoaneurysm of the facial artery may occur after sagittal split ramus osteotomy and should be investigated as a late orthognathic surgery complication.
