Abstract
A case of posttraumatic false aneurysm of the terminal part of the main external carotid artery involving the entire parotid gland is presented. Embolization with two microcoils allowed immediate thrombosis of the false aneurysm. The lumen of the external carotid artery remained open. Facial paralysis resolved. The atypical clinical presentation and the therapeutic steps in such a case are described.
