False aneurysm

False aneurysm . After the rupture of the artery, a more often traumatic genesis in the surrounding tissues produces a perivascular pulselating hematoma.

Symptoms: swelling, discoloration, pain and a sensation of pulsation. Perhaps squeezed by a number of located venous vessels. False aneurysm can become a source of thromboembolism of peripheral vessels, manifested by sudden impairment of the pulse and symptoms of tissue ischemia.

Treatment. If the collateral circulation ensures the preservation of limb function and there is no suppuration in the wound, surgical treatment can not be rushed; In this case, the operation is performed in a few weeks - after the healing of the wound. With ischemia of the peripheral limb, the risk of rupture and enlargement of the hematoma, as well as the development of thromboembolic complications, an immediate operation is indicated.
