Cervicofacial cellulitis is a soft-tissue infection of the neck and face. It is a serious pathology that can extend to the endocranial region and mediastinum, threatening the life of the often young patient. It is often complicated by pneumonia, mediastinitis and hemodynamic failure. Vascular complications are very rare. We report the case of a 21-year-old patient admitted for severe cervicofacial cellulitis, complicated by a false aneurysm of the lingual artery successfully treated by embolization, who died a few days later following refractory hemorrhagic shock.
