Abstract Introduction: When performing a Le Fort 1 osteotomy, there is always a risk of injuring the internal maxillary artery or one of its branches. This diagnosis should be considered when confronted to recurrent or massive epistaxis following surgery.Case presentation: The authors present a case of a life-threatening, delayed and massive epistaxis caused by a ruptured pseudoaneuvrysm of the right sphenopalatine artery as a post-operative complication of a Le Fort I osteotomy successfully managed by anterior and posterior nasal packing.Conclusion: Despite its simplicity and attested reliability, Le Fort I osteotomy is not completely free of complications.

AbstractObjective:To introduce pseudoaneurysm of the sphenopalatine artery as the possible aetiology of acute massive epistaxis in patients with a history of orthognathic surgery accompanied by Le Fort I osteotomy.Methods:Case report and literature review.Results:This paper reports a case of acute life-threatening epistaxis following Le Fort I osteotomy. Computed tomography and angiography showed a pseudoaneurysm of the sphenopalatine artery, which was successfully treated by endovascular embolisation.Conclusion:Although a pseudoaneurysm of the sphenopalatine artery following Le Fort I osteotomy is extremely rare, it should be considered as the possible aetiology of acute massive epistaxis in patients with a history of orthognathic surgery accompanied by Le Fort I osteotomy.

When occlusal alterations are not accompanied by paranasal deficiencies, mobilization of the maxilla via Le Fort I osteotomy should be made with a different design. In this preliminary report, a W-shaped osteotomy that doesn’t change the position of the maxillary bone surrounding the pyriform aperture was presented for the first time. Advantages and indications of this new procedure are discussed.
