Unusual Case of Post Traumatic Subclavian Artery Pseudoaneurysm
Keywords:
Pseudoaneurysm, Subclavian artery, Blunt trauma, Color dopplerAbstract
Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare entity with few cases reported in the literature. Most injuries are related to iatrogenic manipulation with catheters for canalization of central lines. In rare cases, this injury has been described secondary to a blunt trauma. We present one such unusual case of pseudoaneurysm that includes the left subclavian artery in the context of blunt trauma to the neck after a traffic accident. There were no clavicular or rib fractures, or another type of chest trauma to justify such a vascular injury.
