BALAJI M MANI

Abstract


Iatrogenic injury to common carotid artery
leading to Pseudo aneurysm is extremely
uncommon in adults . we report
a case of pseudo-aneurysm of common
carotid artery in a 40 Year adult following
Fine needle aspiration of a neck node.
we report this is as the first case in literature,
where pseudo-aneurysm of common
carotid artery occurred in an adult
following FNAC of neck node. .This case
is presented not only for its rarity but to
emphasis the paramount importance of
doing FNAC with finer needle under USG
guidance in preventing such life threatening
complication.
