This study aimed to gather existing evidence regarding the incidence, clinical presentation, and management of pseudoaneurysms (PA) after orthognathic surgery, identify the common blood vessels involved in PA, and propose a treatment algorithm based on current evidence. The protocol for this study was developed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols and was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews under the registration number CRD42020205479. Although these are rare, oral and maxillofacial surgeons should consider PA as a possible diagnosis, specifically in the maxillary artery of patients with epistaxis, severe facial edema, and swelling following LeFort I osteotomy. |
