A giant pseudoaneurysm of the occipital artery.

Conclusions: Despite their rarity, pseudoaneurysms of the OA should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with an occipital pulsatile mass. Prompt management reduces the risk of a serious hemorrhage. In our case, considering the size of the lesion, surgical resection seemed to be the only reasonable option. PMID: 29279798 [PubMed]
