“…Radial nerve compression by pseudoaneurysm has previously been described, [13][14][15] but other authors report cases of arterial injury due to penetrating trauma. We want to draw attention in this case of radial nerve compression to the possibility of arterial injury even in blunt traumas.…”

Peripheral nerve entrapments rare causes of a common condition: case series

Compressive syndromes of peripheral nerves both in the upper and lower limbs are part of daily clinical practice; however, the etiological diagnosis can be challenging and impact on the outcome of the patient. We report five cases with rare etiologies of nerve entrapments: one in the lower limb and four in the upper limbs with the final diagnosis made only during the operation. The patients evolved without post-operative complications and had good outcomes. This series includes the first report of sciatic compression by a lipoma in the popliteal fossa, two lipomas one with compression of infraclavicular brachial plexus and another with compressing the posterior interosseous nerve, and two reports of vascular lesions due to blunt traumas, which are also uncommon. This series adds to the literature more hypotheses of differential diagnoses in nerve entrapments, which is fundamental to surgical decisions and pre-operative planning-and perhaps most importantly prevents wrong diagnosis of idiopathic compressions, which would lead to a completely wrong approach and unfavorable outcomes.

“…If vessel ligation is being considered, the anatomic location is important because ligation of a more proximal lesion increases the likelihood of tissue damage. 6 Potential future complications following vessel ligation may include trauma (or iatrogenic injury) to the solitary remaining inflow vessel to the hand, arteriosclerosis, and vasculitis. 1 In most adults with an intact palmar arch, radial artery ligation is well tolerated due to the ulnar artery being the dominant inflow vessel to the hand.…”

Summary Radial artery pseudoaneurysms are rare clinical entities usually occurring after penetrating trauma or iatrogenic injury. The radial artery is the least common location for peripheral artery pseudoaneurysms, and no clear standard of treatment exists. We present a case of an adolescent male who developed a radial artery pseudoaneurysm after slitting his wrists. Using a single incision, the radial artery pseudoaneurysm was excised and repaired using a reversed venae comitantes interposition graft. This single incision technique for radial artery pseudoaneurysm repair preserves the dual arterial supply to the hand, which is of particular importance in young patients.

“…If adequate collateral circulation to the hand is observed, ligation of the artery and resection of the pseudoaneurysm are seldom associated with ischemic complications. 3,9,16 Therefore, simple exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm can be performed in trauma patients with other severe concomitant injuries, in patients who cannot tolerate a prolonged procedure, or for infected (mycotic) aneurysms. Otherwise, the double arterial supply of the hand should be preserved whenever possible to prevent future complications related to arteriosclerosis, vasculitis, trauma, or iatrogenic injuries.…”

Pseudoaneurysm of the Radial Artery After a Bicycle Fall

We report a case of a 64-year-old man who developed a painful pulsatile mass in the distal forearm after a bicycle fall with fracture of the wrist. Ultrasonography confirmed a 2.5-cm large pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery. The patient underwent surgical exploration. The pseudoaneurysm was resected and the defect in the arterial wall was reconstructed with an autologous saphenous vein patch. We suggest that the double arterial supply of the hand should be preserved whenever possible.
