文摘

A 54-year-old white man with diabetic renal insufficiency presented with a slowly growing pulsating neck mass after percutaneous internal jugular vein catheterization for hemodialysis. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a pseudoaneurysm of the inferior thyroid artery. After unsuccessful transcatheter coil embolization percutaneous ultrasound guided thrombin injection was performed, with complete thrombosis of the pseudoaneurysm. Percutaneous thrombin injection for treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the inferior thyroid artery has not been described so far to our best of knowledge.
