Abstract: A case of a false aneurysm of the facial artery after circumferential wiring is described. Although this procedure is relatively safe, complications may occur. Treatment consisted of ligation of the facial artery, both proximal and distal to the aneurysm, and this proved to obtain a very satisfactory result.
