Abstract

Introduction Pseudoaneurysm of the palmar arch is an uncommon condition, with a controversial diagnostic and therapeutic management.

Case Report We herein present the case of a 39-year-old man who, after a blunt and penetrating lesion to the thenar eminence of the left hand, developed a pseudoaneurysm of the superficial palmar arch. We decided to perform a computed tomography angiography exam and proposed the treatment: ligation and resection of the vascular pathology.

Discussion Vascular trauma requires monitoring for possible complications. The combination of physical examination and high diagnostic suspicion enable the therapeutic management of the injury. So far, the surgical treatment provides the best short- and long-term results.
