  • Title: Pseudoaneurysm of the external carotid artery following radical neck dissection and irradiation: a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Minion DJ, Lynch TG, Baxter BT, Lieberman R.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Surg; 1994 Oct; 2(5):607-11. PubMed ID: 7820522.
    Abstract:
    A 54-year-old man developed a pseudoaneurysm of the left external carotid artery 8 years after concluding treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. Treatment included radiation therapy, radical neck dissection and a myocutaneous pectoralis major flap. Percutaneous transcatheter embolization resulted in thrombosis of the pseudoaneurysm. A review of the literature yielded only six other reported cases of pseudoaneurysm of the external carotid artery proper.
