Radial Artery Pseudoaneurysm in a Post-operative Case of Midshaft Radius Fracture

INTRODUCTION: Pseudoaneurysms of arteries are not uncommon complications of vessel handling during surgery. Early identification and management is important to prevent disastrous complications such as rupture and thrombosis. CASE REPORT: We describe a case of a 28-year-old male who developed a pseud...

description INTRODUCTION: Pseudoaneurysms of arteries are not uncommon complications of vessel handling during surgery. Early identification and management is important to prevent disastrous complications such as rupture and thrombosis. CASE REPORT: We describe a case of a 28-year-old male who developed a pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery after being operated by plating for a mid-shaft radius fracture. He presented 2 weeks after surgery with swelling over the forearm which was confirmed to be a pseudoaneurysm after computed tomography angiography. It was treated with surgical excision and end-to-end anastomosis. CONCLUSION: A high index of suspicion must be maintained about the occurrence of this complication secondary to both trauma and surgery
