Pseudoaneurysm of the pedal artery is usually caused by traumatic or iatrogenic events. Diagnosis is suspected by palpation of a pulsatile mass and detection of an associated systolic bruit. Confirmation is made by Doppler US. Angiography can demonstrate the presence of collateral circulation and assure distal vascular flow. We present the case of a 49-year-old man who presents 3 months after a traumatic contusion of his left foot with a pulsatile mass. A color Doppler ultrasound confirms a pseudoaneurysm of the pedal artery. The patient underwent surgical resection of the mass and suture ligation of the artery with full recovery and no ischemic complications.

Anatomical Distribution

Pseudoaneurysms of the superficial temporal artery are rare. They commonly occur after blunt trauma to the frontotemporal region of the head. There have been less than 400 cases of superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysms reported. We present a case of a patient referred for a pulsatile head mass. Physical examination and color Doppler ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of a superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm (STA PSA). This was treated with ultrasound-guided thrombin injection with complete resolution. Anatomical distribution, diagnosis, and treatment of STA PSA are discussed.

Epistaxis is a common emergency, and its main causes are hypertensive crisis and trauma. Nasal packing is the primary treatment. After active symptomatic treatment, the symptoms of epistaxis effectively can be controlled. In this case report, the patient was treated with epistaxis many times in the outpatient department. After nasal examination, there was a clear bleeding point, and it was treated with gauze packing or silver nitrate cauterization. The symptoms of epistaxis gradually got worse and was accompanied with fever and progressive anemia. After blood culture and color Doppler ultrasound examination, it was confirmed that it was endocarditis caused by defective hypoxic bacterial infection. After active antibacterial and surgical treatment, the symptoms of epistaxis, fever and anemia were relieved.

Introduction The osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor of bone. Typically asymptomatic bony protuberances are discovered in childhood or adolescence. Although vascular complications are rare, these bony spikes can course along an artery and cause severe arterial complications. Reported here is a case involving the use of color duplex ultrasonography (CDU) to identify a superficial femoral artery (SFA) pseudoaneurysm as a result of an osteochondroma. Case Report A 12-year-old girl had been experiencing left lower extremity pain for approximately 2 months. The pain became progressively severe, and her parents noticed that she was limping. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a mass in the left thigh, suggesting the possibility of a femoral aneurysm. A bony spicule was noted on x-ray at the distal femur, projecting posteriorly. Clinical evaluation revealed an impressive pulsatile mass in the left distal medial thigh. The left thigh was noticeably larger than the right with poor pedal pulses compared with the asymptomatic limb. CDU was performed and identified an aneurysm of the SFA at the adductor canal. There was unusual oscillatory flow in the SFA proximal to the aneurysm with monophasic signals distally. The large aneurysm size displaced the normal anatomic course of the SFA and vein. Ankle-brachial indices (ABI) were 0.72 and monophasic in the affected limb and >1.0 and triphasic in the contralateral limb. Angiography confirmed the CDU and MRA findings, demonstrating a large pseudoaneurysm at the adductor canal caused by an osteochondroma of the femur. At time of surgical repair, the bony spicule was noted to have eroded into the femoral artery. Conclusion Vascular complications as a result of an osteochondroma are rare. Rapid diagnosis is necessary to prevent serious arterial compromise in these young patients. CDU can quickly and accurately confirm the presence of a pseudoaneurysm when an osteochondroma is suspected.
