Superficial femoral artery pseudoaneurysms are rare and usually iatrogenic. We describe the case of a 27-year-old patient who presented a week after trauma with a piece of iron lodged in the middle third of the thigh, a pulsatile mass revealing a pseudoaneurysm of the superficial femoral artery. The patient underwent urgent surgery. We performed a direct suture of the arterial defect without using a venous graft. The postoperative course was uneventful.
Introduction: Neonatal aortic thrombosis is a rare but some cases have been described in the literature. It is associated with high mortality. The main etiology is umbilical vessel catheterization, but others cause coagulopathy, so sepsis could not be excluded. We reported a case of thrombosis of the abdominal aorta at the advanced stage of bilateral lower limbs ischemia treated surgically.Case Report: At 41-week gestation, a newborn boy was born by vaginal delivery to a 28-year-old gravida II para II mother. He was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit for neonatal icterus; fever associated with lower limbs' (extremities') coldness. Perinatal history was normal. Examination showed cold, cyanotic lower left limb, the right side was a cold, pale with toes necrosis. Bilateral abolition of femoral artery's pulses, loss of sensibility was found. At the left limb there was mild to moderate motor impairment. No history of umbilical artery catheterization was reported. A contrast
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
