title: False aneurysm complicating orthognathic surgery.
abstract: A case of a pseudoaneurysm secondary to bleeding which occurred during an intraoral vertical osteotomy of the mandible is presented. The bleeding was thought to be controlled by packing, but ultimately a pseudoaneurysm formed. Arteriography was used to diagnose the lesion and embolization to treat it. Duplex ultrasound played a complimentary role in the diagnosis, and in monitoring the therapeutic course.
