Popis: Tuberculosis is still an endemic in many parts of the world. Vascular complications have been described in patients with tuberculosis and in aggressive chest infections such as actinomycoses. Etiology of internal mammary artery pseudoaneurysms includes iatrogenic causes or a complication of infection (mycotic aneurysm). Early diagnosis and treatment of these aneurysms are key to prevent complications such as hemorrhage, hemothorax, and hemorrhagic shock. In this case report, we describe the presentation and management of a 11-year-old patient with tuberculosis, who developed an internal mammary artery pseudoaneurysm during the course of treatment. We describe the case of a 11-year-old girl with known tuberculosis who developed a left internal mammary artery pseudoaneurysm, and treated with percutaneous ultrasound-guided glue embolization.
