چکیده

INTRODUCTION False aneurysm of the arteries of the hand is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of false aneurysm of the superficial palmar arch in a 4-year-old boy following injury with a piece of glass. Stereoscopic magnetic resonance angiography depicted the lesion effectively. The aneurysm was resected, and the vascular reconstruction was performed with end-to-end anastomosis using microsurgical techniques. CONCLUSIONS Follow-up care is necessary after a hand injury in order to properly diagnose any lesion that may be present and treat it successfully.
