Brachial Artery Pseudoaneurysm Causing Median Nerve Compression: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Pseudoaneurysms in the upper extremities are less frequent than in the lower extremities. They commonly cause local pain, skin ischemia, rupture, distal embolization and venous edema. Very rarely, median nerve neuropathy can be caused due to compression by a brachial artery pseudoaneurysm. We present an unusual case of median nerve neuropathy due to compression by a long standing iatrogenic giant brachial artery pseudoaneurysm in a middle aged woman, which was managed surgically by aneurysmal resection and saphenous vein graft interpositioning.
