Sonographic detection of pseudoaneurysm in vascular injury in emergency department

الملخص EN

A 31-year-old man suffered from a stab wound to the lower extremity.

The patient had a hard sign of a vascular injury (a diminished distal pulse) and therefore probably should have undergone operative repair, but refused.

One week later, he returned to our emergency department with a painful right thigh swelling.

Bedside solography was used to detect a pseudo aneurysm.

Emergency solography is a fast, non-invasive, and rapid decision-making approach in emergency practice.
