The osteogenic exostosis or osteochondroma usually reveals a tumor siting preferably in the knee area. Vascular complications exostoses are known and exceptional even if the frequency of these tumors is important, and we related a case report about a young man of 23 years old who suffers from a mass filling the popliteal area of the left knee, projecting on the popliteal pedicle. We proceed to the excision of the entire lesion. The arterial pseudoaneurysm is the most common vascular complication of exostosis especially in his popliteal location. MRI angiography is necessary, to mentioned osteochondroma aspect, the rule is: any painful exostosis must be removed because the risks of degeneration are real but rare.
Les auteurs rapportent une observation rare d'un jeune adolescent de 17 ans qui a présenté une fracture du processus coronoïde du coude survenue suite à un accident de sport. Il s'agit d'une observation décrivant un abord particulier par voie antérieure transversale permettant un contrôle direct et vissage en compression du fragment déplacé; l’évolution radio clinique était satisfaisante. Nous discuterons à la lumière de la littérature, notre attitude thérapeutique, et l’évolution de ce cadre nosologique à travers l'analyse de cette observation.
