Abstract:
False aneurysm has been recognized for many years. Incomplete severance of an artery as the result of trauma is thought to be the precipitating factors in the formation of false aneurysm. False aneurysm of the peripheral artery is presented with pulsating mass and may show extrinsic indentations of the adjacent bone with or without neurovascular symptoms, mimicking a malignant tumor. But careful history taking can reveal a proceeding deep penetrating injury variable period prior to development of symptoms. We are reporting two cases of false aneurysm of the superior gluteal artery and superficial femoral artery in each after trauma.
