Abstract
Pseudoaneurysm formation in the transverse cervical artery, post radical neck dissection, leading to massive hemorrhage, is a rare but life threatening occurrence. We report a patient with pseudoaneurysm of transverse cervical artery, post salvage radical neck dissection, presenting with recurrent and significant hemorrhage after 3 weeks of surgery. A pseudoaneurysm involving transverse cervical artery was revealed by digital subtraction angiography and treated by endovascular coil embolization. © Association of Otolaryngologists of India 2018.Entities:
