Aneurisma idiopático da artéria radial na região da tabaqueira anatômica: relato de caso

Abstract: Paciente do sexo feminino, 73 anos, negra, lavadeira/lavradora, hipertensa, apresentava tumor pulsátil de 1,5 x 0,5 cm em região de tabaqueira anatômica da mão direita há 10 anos, de crescimento lento e progressivo, associado a dor local. Não apresentava alterações neurológicas, cianose de extremidades, sinais de infecção ou trauma local. O teste de Allen resultou negativo, e o Eco-Doppler colorido demonstrou aneurisma de artéria radial na tabaqueira anatômica. Procedeu-se a aneurismectomia de artéria radial n… Show more

“…Laboratory tests and imaging exams such as Doppler ultrasound, abdominal ultrasonography, echocardiogram, angiotomography, vascular MRI and arteriography should be used to attempt to rule out connective tissue diseases, vasculitis and metabolic diseases, before defining the lesion as congenital or idiopathic 2,8 . Doppler ultrasound has a role to play in investigation of a patient with radial artery aneurysm, both for diagnosis and for assessing the circulation in the hand (always in combination with the Allen test), and it can also reveal the presence and characteristics of blood flow through the aneurysm sac, thrombosis or hematoma 8,9 .…”

“…The etiology of radial aneurysms includes repeated local traumatism, atherosclerosis, vasculitis, local infection and penetrative injuries. However, the majority of radial artery pseudoaneurysm cases are the result of iatrogenic damage during diagnostic and therapeutic endovascular procedures; of blunt traumas; and of penetrative injuries inflicted by cold weapons 1,2 . The objective of this study is to describe a case in which a radial artery aneurysm developed after the patient was bitten by a dog.…”

“…There are several reports in the literature of lesions of the RA at the AS, including; aneurysms (Miura et al, 2004;Luzzani et al, 2006;), an aneurysm initially misdiagnosed as a ganglion cyst (Walton & Choudhary, 2002), idiopathic aneurysm (Santos et al, 2008), bilateral aneurysm in a patient with Marfan syndrome (Yukios et al, 2009), mycotic aneurysm of the dorsal carpal branch (Poirier & Stansel, 1972) and traumatic aneurysms (Wenger et al, 1980). McNamara et al (1998) noted that between 1984 and 1995, nine patients were treated with spontaneous thrombosis of the radial artery in the region of the AS, all of whom had ischemic symptoms in the index finger and / or the thumb.…”
