TRAUMATIC ANEURYSMS OF THE INTERNAL MAXILLARY ARTERY AND THEIR TREATMENT BY EMBOLIZATION - A REPORT OF 2 CASES

Traumatic aneurysms of the head and neck are rare lesions and in the past their treatment has been by a variety of surgical approaches. Two civilian cases of traumatic aneurysm of the internal maxillary artery are reported. These were treated by embolisation, which offered for their management an effective alternative and less invasive approach than surgery. © 1990 The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
