ABSTRACT
Pseudoaneurysm of the pedal artery is an uncommon condition that is usually caused by a traumatic injury or an iatrogenic intervention. The patient usually complains of an enlarging painless, pulsatile mass. We report a previously healthy 49 years old male presenting with a pulsatile mass of his left foot and a history of a traumatic lesion in the zone three months ago. A Doppler ultrasound examination confirmed the presence of a pseudoaneurysm of the pedal artery of 2.6 x 1.5 cm diameter. The patient underwent surgical resection of the mass and suture ligation of the artery. The postoperative period was uneventful.
RESUMEN
Los pseudoaneurismas de la arteria pedia son infrecuentes y habitualmente se generan secundariamente a un traumatismo o a una intervención iatrogénica. Presentamos el caso de un paciente sano de 49 años que presenta un aumento de volumen pulsátil 3 meses posterior al traumatismo contuso de su pie izquierdo. En el doppler color se evidencia la presencia de un pseudoaneurisma de la arteria pedia de 2,64 x 1,53 cm. El paciente fue intervenido con resección y ligadura de la arteria con buena evolución postoperatoria.
