Abstract
A patient developed neck swelling following removal of an internal jug ular vein cannula. Although tracheal extubation was delayed, severe ai rway obstruction occurred resulting in a cardiac arrest. He was succes sfully resuscitated. Doppler ultrasonography revealed a huge cervical haematoma surrounding a carotid artery pseudoaneurysm. The carotid art ery pseudoaneurysm was obliterated using radiological intervention.
