Abstract:
Aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm of the dorsalis pedis artery remains to be rare vascular entities with a reported incidence of 0.5% of peripheral arterial aneurysms.
Only, few cases were reported. The formation of pseudoaneurysm is commonly
associated with fracture, laceration wound or iatrogenic arterial injury. An arterial
injury that coincides with pseudoaneurysm can initially be missed due to lack
of clinical findings. Prompt recognition remains paramount to reduce morbidity
and mortality. Here, we present a rare complication of a commonly performed
orthopaedic procedure in a young male who presented with painful swelling over
left foot after he was involved in an industrial injury. He presented again with a
pulsating mass over his left foot after 2 months post fixation surgery of a Lisfranc
injury. He was treated conservatively with compression bandage and able to regain
to his normal activity after the treatment initiated.
