EMBOLIZATION OF TRAUMATIC ANEURYSM OF THE MAXILLARY ARTERY

Peter L Field, Brian M. Tress, M D O’Brien, Bruce A. Levant

Abstract

An expanding false aneurysm in the infratemporal fossa followed this patient's complicated jaw fracture. Successful Gelfoam embolization of the maxillary artery has controlled haemorrhage, treated the aneurysm, and avoided the hazards of local operative intervention. The technique of embolization has a place in the management of various difficult vascular problems.
