Palmar Artery Aneurysm

Abstract

Aneurysms of the hand are rarely encountered and more rarely reported. The least common locations of these aneurysms are the palmar and digital arteries. The etiologies of these entities are quite varied, although they usually present as a pulsatile mass. Following a thorough evaluation, including arterial anatomic imaging, they should be repaired. The reported results following repair have been good. Herein we report a girl with a spontaneous palmar artery aneurysm and its management.

Pseudoaneurisma traumático del arco palmar superficial: A propósito de un caso clínico

“…9 La decisión de realizar este acto quirúrgico depende de la vascularización colateral que presente el paciente, así como del tiempo de evolución de la lesión y de las características de la misma. 3,5,8 Debido a la permeabilidad de la vascularización colateral y a los 3 meses de evolución de la lesión, se optó por la ligadura sin ningún gesto añadido en relación a la sutura de los cabos.…”

“…La ligadura de los vasos nutricios del aneurisma y su posterior resección quirúrgica suele ser el tratamiento general de estas lesiones. 3,5 Presentamos un caso clínico en el que se desarrolló el manejo diagnóstico y terapéutico de un pseudoaneurisma traumático del arco palmar.…”

A case of congenital aneurysm of the ulnar artery of the palm

“…Among the 15 cases previously reported [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] , the site of occurrence was the ulnar artery in 10 cases, the common digital artery in four cases, and the palmar arch in one case; the ulnar artery was involved in 67% of cases [ Table 1]. Okuda et al .…”

Congenital aneurysm of the palmar digital artery: A case report and literature review

“…With exclusion of hypothenar hammer syndrome cases from our search, 193 reported cases of hand arterial aneurysms were found in the literature, and only 13 such cases in the pediatric population ( Table 1 ) [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] . Average patient age at presentation ranged from 5 months to 18 years (median = 4 years), and none had a prior history of trauma.…”

“…Nontraumatic causes of aneurysms in adults are associated with atherosclerosis, infection, and other less common causes [3] . Congenital aneurysms or true arterial aneurysms of the hand are exceptionally rare in the pediatric population [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] . Very little is known regarding their causation and treatment algorithms have not been developed in the pediatric population.…”
