Abstract :
Pseudoaneurysm, accompanied by penetrating trauma in the forearm, is rarely
reported. Considering that clinical examination is not standard in these cases, clinical suspicion
and application of suitable diagnostic modalities would be promising and helpful. Most of these
patients were referred to the emergency units but were not correctly diagnosed.
Case Presentation: In this report, we present a 22-year-old patient with increasing pain because
of a stab wound to forearm 10 days after the first referral to the emergency unit. A pseudoaneurysm
was suspected in posterior interosseous of the radial artery because of the persistent pain and
palpation of mass.
Conclusions: The results of bedside ultrasound in the emergency unit and CT angiography
revealed pseudoaneurysm in posterior interosseous of the radial artery. The surgical treatment
was the resection of the lesion and posterior interosseous ligature. All symptoms of the patient
were resolved in a 2-months follow-up. Post
