ABSTRACT

Introducción: el uso de muletas de forma prolongada como desencadenante de aneurisma de arteria braquial es raro pero potencialmente vital. Caso clínico: presentamos a una paciente de 84 años, con historia de poliomielitis y uso prolongado de muleta en brazo derecho. Se diagnostica de isquemia crítica secundaria a oclusión de aneurisma de arteria braquial y lesiones por embolización distal. A pesar de realizarse injerto venoso, la paciente presenta mala evolución con amputación de antebrazo. Discusión: es de vital importancia el reconocimiento y tratamiento de esta patología.(AU)


Introduction: the prolonged use of crutches resulting in a brachial aneurysm is rare but potentially vital. Case report: we present an 84-year-old patient with a history of poliomyelitis and prolonged use of a crutch in her right arm. She was diagnosed with critical ischemia secondary to occlusion of brachial artery aneurysm and distal embolization lesions. Despite having performed a venous graft, the patient presented a poor evolution which resulted in a forearm amputation. Discussion: it's of vital importance to recognize and treat this pathology.(AU)
