Posttraumatic intrahepatic pseudoaneurysm in a child managed by coil angioembolization: a case report and literature review.
This case report details the management of a posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm in the right lobe of the liver in an 8-year-old child with the use of angioembolization. Because this was considered to be an uncommon injury in this age group, a pseudoaneurysm-specific literature review was performed, which is discussed in the light of the index patient.
