Case Reports[Posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of the axillary artery after anterior dislocation of the shoulder: a case report].
We present a case of a young patient, 44 years old, with a pseudoaneurysm of the axillary artery after anterior shoulder dislocation. The early diagnosis of axillary artery lesions after trauma is difficult in some cases. ⋯ In consequence, in all patients with a penetrating or blunt trauma of the shoulder is required a neurological and vascular examination; in any suspicions, an additional arteriography and computer tomography is indicated. Early repairs of vascular and neurological lesions are very important for the outcome of these patients.
