Title: Pseudoaneurysms Occurring as a Result of Fractures Giving Rise to the Appearance of Pseudotumors: A Short Series

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms are focal enlargements of the vascular lumen due to partial or complete disruption of the arterial wall. These are an uncommon complication of fractures. The presence of a pseudoaneurysm adjacent to a fracture fragment can cause a pressure effect. This pressure not only impairs fracture healing but sometimes can erode the adjacent bone, producing the appearance of a pseudotumor. We present two such cases and discuss the management of these patients.
