Abstract
Axillary arterial pseudoaneurysms are uncommon. Although infrequently seen as an iatrogenic complication very few cases have been reported following postero-inferior dislocation of the shoulder joint. We present one such case, which was successfully managed by surgical intervention. Although uncommon, pseudoaneurysms should not be forgotten after trivial trauma. Upper limb pseudoaneurysms should be recognised early because of the risk of early vascular, neurological compromise and risk potential serious long-term sequelae . PSEUDOANEURYSM OF AXILLARY ARTERY FOLLOWING SHOULDER DISLOCATION A 71-year-old lady presented to A/E with a Road Traffic Accident having been side swiped by a car. Initial assessment was normal. Radiological examination of shoulder (figure 1) showed postero-inferior dislocation of right shoulder.
