A Rare Case of a Spontaneous Brachial Artery Aneurysm

Abstract

Brachial artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are rare. What follows is a case of a pseudoaneurysm found in the right brachial artery in the mid upper arm. The patient denied trauma and there had not been any needle injections previously. The initial diagnosis was either a pseudoaneurysm or a saccular aneurysm. Surgical exploration suggested a spontaneous pseudoaneurysm.
