Carotid artery pseudoaneurysm in a cat
2012
Townsell, Marlene Y | Biller, David S | Grauer, Gregory F.
A 4-month-old female intact domestic shorthair cat presented to Kansas State University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital for investigation of a large, firmly adhered mass in the left mid-cervical region that developed after phlebotomy performed at the referring veterinarian’s clinic. Ultrasound examination of the mass revealed a cystic structure in communication with the left carotid artery, with bidirectional blood flow through the area. A diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm secondary to accidental needle penetration of the carotid artery during jugular venepuncture was made. Strict cage rest and pain management resulted in complete resolution of clinical and ultrasonographic signs in this cat.
