“…In contrast to true aneurysms, PSAs are contained by the adventitia or surrounding soft-tissue structures making them more prone to rupture and therefore requiring urgent management [1] . PTA PSAs are extremely uncommon and they typically occur because of penetrating or blunt trauma [2] , fractures of the lower limb [3] and orthopedic procedures [4] . They usually present with pain, swelling or an expanding pulsatile mass, while the severity of the symptoms is associated with the size of the PSA [5] .…”

Posterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysms are rare and can occur in the setting of trauma. Endovascular treatment of post-traumatic pseudoaneurysms has become a viable less-invasive method particularly in young patients in whom the presence of collaterals guarantees distal vascularization. We report an unusual case of a 16-year- old patient who sustained blunt trauma to his right lower extremity due to a bicycle injury and developed a delayed symptomatic pseudoaneurysm of the posterior tibial artery in the absence of tibia fracture. Superselective endovascular treatment with Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer based liquid embolic system (Menox) was successfully performed, achieving exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm with preservation of the remaining vascularization of the lower limb.

Rationale: An extremely rare spontaneous pseudoaneurysm (PSA) of the posterior tibial artery (PTA) in a middle-aged male patient was cured by open surgery effectively. Patient concerns: A 53-year-old man presented with the increasing swollen left shank for 1 day, with intermittent pain, pulselessness and pallor. He denied the history of trauma, infection, and other diseases. Diagnoses: Physical examination, past medical history, ankle brachial index, ultrasonography, computed tomographic angiography (CTA), 3-dimensional reconstruction image of the popliteal artery and its branches and histological examination of intraluminal thrombus and clots helped us diagnose the patient as spontaneous PSA of PTA. Interventions: Our patient underwent excision of PSA and repair operation of PSA. Outcomes: The patient recovered well at 2-year follow-up. Lessons: This rare case provides valuable insights for tissue repair and vascular surgery. Therapeutic methods should be in accordance with the best interest of patient. Open surgery is the effective treatment for spontaneous PSA of PTA.
