Abstract
Mycotic internal mammary artery (IMA) pseudoaneurysms are sparsely reported in medical
literature. We report imaging findings of IMA pseudoaneurysms secondary to chest wall
abscesses (staphylococcal and tuberculous) in two children. Both children were successfully
treated by endovascular method thus obviating the need for surgery.
