Unique bilateral symmetrical accessory renal artery – A case report

Abstract

Supracondylar humerus fractures in childhood may be accompanied by a vascular injury that is worse than the fracture. The early recognition of the vascular complications is crucial to perform an adequate, and rapid treatment that provides a good prognosis. Early and precise treatment of acute vascular injuries is necessary to avoid a delay which may lead to a permanent disability. In this article, a pediatric case of supracondylar humerus fracture with a brachial artery impairment and the successful surgical treatment is presented.
