Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the internal maxillary artery (IMA) is rare. A patient with a pseudoaneurysm of IMA presented with a pulsatile swelling in the parotid region. Endovascular coils were deployed at neck of aneurysm and it was thrombosed. Pseudoaneurysms of IMA are difficult to approach surgically. Endovascular therapies can give early recovery with minimal morbidity and avoids injury to the facial nerve and its branches.
