Post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of internal mammary artery: a case report.

چکیده
Pseudoaneurysm of the internal mammary artery can be a rare complication of surgery, particularly post-sternotomy, or determined by a direct trauma, usually a stab wound. This report presents a pseudoaneurysm by a stab, diagnosed by chest computed tomography scan performed for hemothorax recurrence. The patient underwent left thoracotomy in third intercostal space; mammary vessels were identified above and below the pseudoaneurysm sac and tied. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Although vascular lesions of the internal carotid artery have been shown to cause Horner's syndrome [1-5], to the best of our knowledge there is no pr...
