Pseudoaneurysms are a known complication following facial trauma and orthognathic surgery. Few reports exist of this clinical entity following traditional open techniques of repair, and none have been associated with endoscopic-assisted open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of a subcondylar fracture. We present a case of a 33-year-old man who developed pseudoaneurysm after endoscopic-assisted ORIF as well as a review of the literature on this topic. While uncommon, this is a potential complication that should be recognized with the use of endoscopic-assisted repair of mandibular fractures.
假性动脉瘤是面部创伤和正颌外科手术后已知的并发症。关于传统开放修复技术后这种临床情况的报道很少,并且尚无与髁突下骨折的内镜辅助切开复位内固定术(ORIF)相关的报道。我们报告一例33岁男性在内镜辅助ORIF术后发生假性动脉瘤的病例,并对该主题的文献进行综述。虽然不常见,但这是一种潜在的并发症,在使用内镜辅助修复下颌骨骨折时应予以认识。
