Dr. Elan Cherulathan Kalyanaraman, Dr. Shiva Kumar Rathlawath

Abstract :

Ulnar artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition. In literature most of these aneurysms are related to distal ulnar artery and have been found complicating hypothenar hammer syndrome .

Here we report a case of pseudoaneurysm in the deep palmar anch of ulnar artery following a penetrating stab during routine household work using a sharp object. The diagnosis was suspected based on clinical examination and was confirmed by CT Angiography. The patient underwent successful excision of the pseudoanuerysm.
