- Title
Traumatic Aneurysms of Two Proper Digital Arteries in the Same Patient: A Case Report.
- Authors
BRUNELLI, G.; VIGASIO, A.; BATTISTON, B.; GUIZZI, P.; BRUNELL, F.
- Abstract
Aneurysms in the hand are infrequent and aneurysms of the proper digital arteries are particularly rare, only 11 cases having been reported in the literature. The authors describe the case of a patient operated on for two traumatic false aneurysms of the ulnar digital arteries of the middle and ring fingers. Arterial aneurysms should be carefully evaluated to exclude other lesions such as cysts, abscesses, neuromas. The choice between ligation and resection or reconstruction of the vessel should be based on pre-operative and intra-operative evaluation of circulation.
