Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis is often an incidental finding recognized on plain radiography. It essentially differs from the more common atherosclerosis in that the tunica intima remains unaffected, and hence the vessel lumen is preserved. Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis is most commonly seen in diabetics and patients with end-stage renal disease. In this short communication, the author presents a rare case of Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis affecting the facial vasculature.
