The article describes two clinical cases of vascular complications related to hereditary exostose chondrodysplasia of the lower limbs in children. Despite early diagnostics the newgrowth was not timely removed. The anatomical localization of the exostoses in the vicinity of the main arterial trunks resulted in formation of pseudo-aneurysms due to a prolonged exposure of the vascular wall to the actively growing bone formations. After diagnostic imaging (ultrasonography and Doppler sonography, CT angiography, MR angiography of the vessels in the lower extremities) the authors performed a simultaneous resection of the femoral artery aneurysm with autovenous grafting and total resection of exostoses in both cases. Late follow up of both patients demonstrated vascular permeability at the graft site and no symptoms of stenosis were observed.
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.
