Abstract |
Ruptured aneurysm of superior thyroid artery is a very rare pathological event. Underlying causes such as trauma, malignancy or iatrogenic are not systematically found. Resulting cervical hematoma is life threatening and can lead to acute respiratory failure, dysphagia, vocal cord paralysis and hemomediastinum. Endovascular treatment combined with surgical drainage has been described as an effective treatment.
In this case report, a 63-year-old man presented a spontaneous rupture of an aneurysm of superior thyroid artery resulting in cervical hematoma and acute respiratory failure.
