Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm of internal maxillary artery following trauma is a rare clinical entity. A rapidly growing swelling in the facial region following fracture of the mandibular subcondylar region is an indication of a developing aneurysm. A case of pseudoaneurysm of the internal maxillary artery following condylar fracture of mandible is reported. The case was treated successfully by surgery.
