Vascular complications after third molar extraction are very rare but may cause a life-threatening situation. The case presented is that of a 25-year-old male who appeared at our emergency department with severe dyspnea and increasing swelling of the left submandibular area 3 days after dental extraction. CT angiography and digital subtraction angiography demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm of the facial artery. Subsequent emergent endovascular embolization with n-Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate was performed and the patient had a rapid satisfactory resolution.

A pseudoaneurysm is an abnormal dilatation within the wall of a blood vessel due to the formation of a hematoma in the vessel wall after vessel injury. Because of the protective nature of the facial skeleton and the deep location of the lingual artery, the lingual artery pseudoaneurysm is rare. The authors report a case of a 20-year-old male who suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including to the mouth, presenting with immediate life-threatening injuries.

Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNTA) and filler injection procedures usually provide predicted outcomes with a low incidence of complications. Most of the complications after these procedures have been extensively discussed. In this study, we report on these injectables' less well-known, recently reported, and novel complications and attempt to clarify the underlying mechanisms.
