RESUMEN
Los aneurismas distales tienen pocos reportes en la literatura por su escasa presencia en la clínica médica. Su etiología es diversa y su tratamiento difiere en cada caso individualmente. Se presentan tres pacientes portadores de aneurismas verdaderos, postraumáticos y de localización periférica. Los mismos fueron diagnosticados y tratados en la República de Yemen, en el período de 2006 a 2009, durante el transcurso de la colaboración médica cubana en este país. Todos obtuvieron un resultado terapéutico satisfactorio.
There are few reports on distal aneurisms in the literature because of their scarce presence in the medical clinic. Their etiology is diverse and their treatment differs individually in each case. We present three patients carrying truly, post-traumatic, peripheral aneurisms. They were diagnosed and treated in the Republic of Yemen, in the period 2006-2009, during the Cuban medical collaboration in that country. In all of them the therapeutic results were satisfactory.
