    Abstract

    Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms of the subclavian artery branch have been reported. However, the report of aneurysms of the transverse cervical artery without any history of trauma is very rare. The authors report a case of an aneurysm presenting as a growing pulsatile mass in the supraclavicular region, which originated from the transverse cervical artery, and treated by transarterial microcoil embolization.

    Computed tomogram shows fusiform aneurysm (white arrow) originated from right transverse cervical artery (black arrow).

    Right subclavian (A) and right transverse cervical (B) arteriogram (CRA 25°) show fusiform aneurysm originated from the right transverse cervical artery.

    Fig. 3
    Post-embolization arteriogram (LAO 35°) shows complete occlusion of right transverse cervical artery with disappeared its fusiform aneurysm.
