Iatrogenic facial artery pseudoaneurysm

Tonsillectomy is one of the most common procedures performed by Otolaryngologists. Hemorrhage is the most common complication. Iatrogenic hemorrhage resulting from pseudoaneurysm of the facial artery is rare. In this video, a case of a 30-year-old male who presented with recurrent hemorrhage from an iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm arising from the left facial artery 22 days after undergoing tonsillectomy is described. Treatment options and warning sign of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms are discussed.
