“…In this case posterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysm is suspected due to either sharp bony fragment causing arterial injury or the iatrogenic as it is recognized but uncommon [5] and late manifestation of vascular injury associated with tibia and fibula fracture, pseudoaneurysm are more common with blunt trauma and penetrating injury (Stab, bullet injury). Sharp edges of bony fragments or during implantation which may transect the arterial wall leading to local hematoma formation with subsequent degradation of enclosed vessels.…”

A case of post-traumatic posterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysm following a fractured tibia and fibula with acute compartment syndrome was treated with fasciotomy and external fixator in 17-year-old female. She was investigated for gradual onset boggy swelling after 7 weeks after the initial injury and fixation and diagnosed with an aneurysm at lower limb CT angiography contrast leakage was noticed radiologically (Fig 4). This rare complication of fracture tibia and fibula has to be considered in patient presenting boggy gradual swelling treated with external fixator application following the safe zone of pin insertion proximally.

“…Staphylococcus aureus , Salmonella species, Tuberculosis, mycobacterium, Streptococcus pneumoniae and fungi are all causative organisms [ 1 , 3 , 4 ]. S. equi is a rare cause of mycotic aneurysms with a recent review identifying 12 cases in the literature [ 5 ]. We report a case of an infrarenal reconstruction using right femoral vein for management of a S. equi mycotic aneurysm in a retired hobby equestrian.…”

A common source of infection in equine, Streptococcus equi, is an uncommon pathogen in humans, rarely identified as the cause for mycotic aortic aneurysms. Typically associated with consumption of unpasteurized milk or contact with horses, S. equi can result in severe bacteremia, endocarditis and meningitis. We describe the presentation and successful management of a 69-year-old retired equestrian who underwent infrarenal aortic resection and reconstruction using autologous right femoral vein for a S. equi mycotic aneurysm.

Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus is an opportunistic pathogen associated with disease in a range of domestic and wild animals. Despite its importance, very limited data is available on its survival and persistence on the environment. The goal of this study was to evaluate survival of S. zooepidemicus under ideal culture conditions and farm-like setting, in various surface types. Rubber, plastic, wood, and concrete samples were sterilized and inoculated with 109 CFU/mL of S. zooepidemicus with or without feces, and cultured under ideal conditions (37 °C, 5% CO2) or farm-like settings (20oC on air) for a maximum period of 25 days (n = 3/material/environment/feces-group/time-point). Under ideal conditions without feces, the bacterium survived for up to 17 days on plastic and rubber surfaces, 4 days on wood and less than 1 day on concrete (P < 0.05 between materials). Samples under ideal conditions with feces and farm-like settings without feces were negative by day 1 post-inoculation, regardless of the surface material used. Wood and concrete allowed S. zooepidemicus persistence for up to 3 days under farm-like settings when feces were present. This data suggests that environmental persistence of S. zooepidemicus is affected by surface type and incubation temperature.
