“…However, no method exists to forecast which pseudoaneurysms will bleed and which thrombose spontaneously. As a result, certain specialists argue that decisive therapy should be performed in all such situations [ 7 ]. Initially, US-guided compression and thrombin injection can treat arterial pseudoaneurysms.…”

Pseudoaneurysms, also known as fake aneurysms, are balloon-like bulges that develop in the arteries and veins. This can happen due to injury, surgery, infection, or other conditions that damage blood vessels. Pseudoaneurysms are usually asymptomatic but can bleed and be painful. Left untreated, they can lead to severe complications such as thrombus formation and distant embolization. Subclavian pseudoaneurysms are rare, which can lead to potentially life-threatening complications of traumatic or iatrogenic injuries to the subclavian artery, such as catheterization. Prompt diagnosis and management are essential to avoid devastating outcomes. We report the case of a pediatric patient who developed a subclavian pseudoaneurysm after neck trauma and was successfully treated with endovascular embolization. This case highlights the importance of timely management and vigilant monitoring for this rare but potentially life-threatening condition.

“…Aneurysms of the brachial artery may present as an asymptomatic pulsatile swelling in the upper extremity 17 or with symptoms resulting from compression of surrounding structures 3,4 or distal embolization, 9,13 and occasionally with ischemia or gangrene requiring amputation. 1,18 Similar to popliteal aneurysms, brachial aneurysms do not typically present with rupture. Pain is the most commonly reported symptom among cases described in the literature (Table 1).…”
