Delayed Presentation of a Post-traumatic Suprascapular Artery Pseudoaneurysm

Thyrocervical trunk pseudoaneurysms are a rare entity among pseudoaneurysms, mostly caused by trauma. We present the case of a 74-year-old male who suffered a traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the supra-scapular artery after a rib and scapular fracture. The patient was treated with various interventions along the treatment algorithm, including ultrasound-guided thrombin injection, coil embolization, and surgical excision. In our patient, the pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated with coil embolization, but a persistent thrombosed pseudoaneurysm caused the patient discomfort, prompting the eventual surgical removal. This case is unique as it enlightens the step-wise approach to managing thyrocervical trunk pseudoaneurysm.
