Our case describes the imaging characteristics of a tongue hematoma and lingual artery pseudoaneurysm following oral surgery, treated with a liquid embolic agent prior to repeat instrumentation. Identifying particular imaging cues that suggest underlying vascular pathology is essential to prevent unnecessary, potentially fatal instrumentation. A liquid embolizing agent can be used to endovascularly treat an unstable pseudoaneurysm in the oral cavity.
Keywords: artery pseudoaneurysm; lingual artery; liquid embolization; pseudoaneurysm; tooth extraction.
