Peroneal/posterior tibial nerves delayed dysfunction due to traumatic popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm resulting from trivial stab wound: A case report

BACKGROUND: Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysms due to stab wounds are extremely rate. Even more infrequently, they can contribute to the compression of multiple peripheral nerves. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 23-year-old male, following a trivial stab wound, developed the delayed occurrence of a pseudoaneurysm...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysms due to stab wounds are extremely rate. Even more infrequently, they can contribute to the compression of multiple peripheral nerves. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 23-year-old male, following a trivial stab wound, developed the delayed occurrence of a pseudoaneurysm of the popliteal artery. This resulted in the delayed onset of a compressive popliteal/posterior tibial neuropathy. Following restoration of blood flow through the popliteal artery utilizing saphenous vein grafting, additional neurolysis resulted in resolution of the compressive neuropathy. CONCLUSION: A 23-year-old male developed a pseudoaneurysm following minor trauma that resulted in peripheral nerve dysfunction.
