Aneurysm I: Introduction01:30

Aneurysm I: Introduction

An aortic aneurysm is a localized outpouching or dilation at a weak point in the artery wall. It may involve different parts of the aorta, such as the abdominal aorta, aortic arch, or thoracic aorta.Etiological factorsSeveral disorders are associated with aortic aneurysms.Congenital causes, such as primary connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome, impact the integrity and strength of connective tissues, notably affecting the aorta. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that specifically...

Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...

Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...
Overview of Systemic Arteries01:11

Overview of Systemic Arteries

The human body is a complex, well-organized machine, and at the heart of its operations lies the circulatory system. This network of blood vessels, which includes systemic arteries, plays a vital role in maintaining life by transporting nutrients, oxygen, and waste products to and from cells throughout the body.
Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's tissues and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Facial artery pseudoaneurysms are rare but serious vascular lesions.
  • They can result from traumatic or iatrogenic injuries, posing risks of rupture and bleeding.
  • Early detection and intervention are critical to prevent severe complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the literature on facial artery pseudoaneurysms.
  • To analyze patient demographics, etiologies, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and recurrence rates of different management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review adhering to PRISMA guidelines was conducted.
  • Searches included major biomedical databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central, ClinicalTrials.gov) through 2025.
  • Data from 36 case reports were extracted and descriptively analyzed.

Main Results:

  • 36 case reports of facial artery pseudoaneurysms were identified.
  • The average patient age was 31, with 78% males; common causes were iatrogenic (49%) and traumatic (46%) injuries.
  • Endovascular embolization (57%) and open surgical repair (35%) were primary treatments, with an 8% recurrence rate.

Conclusions:

  • Facial artery pseudoaneurysms are uncommon, typically presenting within 21 days post-injury.
  • Both open surgical repair and endovascular embolization offer effective treatment with low complication and recurrence rates.
  • Timely diagnosis and management are essential for favorable patient outcomes.
