External carotid artery pseudoaneurysm with arteriovenous fistula: A rare complication of glass shrapnel injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
Posttraumatic external carotid artery pseudoaneurysm with arteriovenous fistula is a rare condition. An 8-year-old child presented with painful pulsatile swelling in the preauricular region following a penetrating glass shrapnel injury. Detailed evaluation showed distal external carotid artery pseudoaneurysm with fistula, which was draining into the retromandibular vein. Endovascular treatment was performed. This case highlights the role of endovascular intervention for such rare complicated vascular pathologies.

Vertebral arteriovenous fistula: an unusual complication of Swan-Ganz catheter insertion.
The leading causes of trauma to the major craniocerebral vessels include penetrating and non penetrating trauma [1 , 2]. Because the vertebral artery is confined to the incomplete bony canal formed by the successive foramina in the transverse processes of the upper cervical vertebrae, it is less susceptible to penetrating injury than is the carotid artery [2]. A review of the literature has unc...
متن کاملArterio-venous fistula with pseudoaneurysm of renal artery.
INTRODUCTION The authors describe a rare but potentially severe, sometimes even life-threatening complication occurring after various invasive renal interventions. The cause that gives rise to a fistula formation between close branches of renal artery and vein is an injury of these vessels during resection of a localised renal tumour, renal biopsy, percutaneous nephrostomy, and even blunt injur...

Congenital arteriovenous communications involving the external carotid artery and jugular veins are rare. We report a 4-year-old girl with a history of an abnormal audible sound in the right ear during sleep. Physical examination revealed a carotid bruit, thrill and a pulsatile mass in the right neck. A simple congenital right external carotid-jugular arteriovenous fistula was confirmed and suc...
متن کاملStent-Graft Treatment of Iatrogenic Vertebral Artery Pseudoaneurysm and Arteriovenous Fistula
Very rare incidence of vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm as a complication caused by central venous catheterization has been reported. The treatment strategy is dependent on location, anatomic structure and coexisting vascular injuries. The Stent-graft placement was performed in a 69-year-old woman who underwent Hemo-Cath® insertion for emergent hemodialysis complicated with right vertebral arter...
متن کاملHybrid stent-graft repair of an iatrogenic complex proximal right common carotid artery injury.
BACKGROUND Iatrogenic carotid trauma requires early diagnosis and adequate treatment. Classic open repair may be technically challenging if trauma is in base of the neck. We present a case of an iatrogenic carotid pseudoaneurysm treated with endovascular repair. METHODS An 87-year-old woman presented with a pulsatile neck mass 10 days after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. A computed tom...
