Abstract EN
A pseudoaneurysm is a haematoma which is surrounded by connective tissue and communicates with the lumen of a ruptured blood vessel.
It has no true defined capsule.
We describe a case of tuberculous pseudoaneurysm.
This is a rare complication of tuberculosis.
The clinical presentation of these lesions is highly variable.
Definitive diagnosis should consist of contrast-enhanced CT and arteriography.
Treatment should include repair of the arterial wall by surgery, endovascular stent-graft insertion, or embolization followed by a full course of antituberculous chemotherapy.
Our case is highly unusual in that the pseudoaneurysm arose from the subclavian vasculature in a patient with extrapulmonary tuberculosis only.
