Review Case Reports
[Pediatric post-traumatic limb pseudoaneurysm: Case report and literature review].
Pediatric post-traumatic pseudoaneurysms are a rare complication of arterial limb injuries. Management modalities in children are poorly defined. We report on a case of post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the right anterior tibial artery after minimal penetrating trauma, treated with surgery. ⋯ Management of pediatric post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the limbs is surgical. Currently however, new alternatives exist: endovascular techniques, ultrasound-guided compression, and embolization by thrombin injection.
