Gluteal Aneurysm

The Vascular Supply of Hip Joint and its Clinical Significant

“…There is no clear incidence of gluteal artery aneurysm (Schorn et al, 1995) but it is occurred more men than women. Based on previous studies, the superior gluteal artery is highly predisposed to aneurysm than the inferior gluteal artery (Smyth et al, 1965;Matas, 1909 ( Song et al, 2006). In current study includes the incidence of the origin variability articular branch and its course to clarify the main vascular branch of hip joint which could be endangering in trauma.…”

True superior gluteal artery aneurysm with neurovascular compromise of the lower limb: a case report and review of the therapeutic options

“…However, cases have been described of non-pulsatile gluteal artery pseudo-aneurysms which have been aspirated [ 11 ] or incised [ 12 ] with untoward consequences. These illustrations mandate the consideration of gluteal artery aneurysms as differential diagnosis of gluteal swellings which include lesions like gluteal abscesses (cold or pyogenic), lipomas, soft tissue sarcomas, sciatic hernia, Echinococcal cysts, cystic hygroma etc [ 11 ]. Diagnostic imaging options include duplex ultrasonography, computerized tomographic angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and catheter-based angiography.…”

“…Surgical treatment : Currently, the two-staged extraperitoneal approach is favoured [ 11 , 12 , 15 ]. Transperitoneal approaches have also been described but the former has the advantage of avoiding entry into the abdomen hence precluding potential intra-abdominal abscesses and other complications.…”

Traumatic Pseudo Aneurysm of the Inferior Gluteal Artery as a Delayed Complication of a Buttock Penetrating Trauma

“…A pulsatile mass is palpated. Delay from initial injury to diagnosis of pseudo-aneurysm usually ranges from weeks to months, and rarely exceeds a year [7][8][9].…”
