True radial artery aneurysm in a patient with somatic mosaicism for a mutation in platelet-derived growth factor receptor β gene

We have presented the case of a right radial artery aneurysm (RAA) in a 27-year-old man with cerebral and coronary artery aneurysms and features of Parkes-Weber syndrome (port-wine stains and right upper extremity arteriovenous malformation and overgrowth). The RAA was repaired with an interposition great saphenous vein bypass graft. Analysis of the intracranial artery aneurysm and affected skin demonstrated a somatic mutation in the platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β gene. Mosaicism was present in the RAA but not in the great saphenous vein. Somatic mosaicism should be considered as a possible etiology for peripheral aneurysms in patients for whom standard genetic test results are unrevealing.

A Case Report of Iatrogenic Radial Artery True Aneurysm

True aneurysm is dilatation of an artery which consists of all layers of the arterial wall. True radial artery aneurysms are very rare. The most common cause of radial artery aneurysm is iatrogenic trauma. Here, we report a case of iatrogenic true radial artery aneurysm. A 38-year-old male with a history of right radial artery cannulation for anticoagulant therapy to treat right leg deep venous thrombosis presented to our outpatient department with a complaint of swelling on the radial side of the volar aspect of the right arm. He was treated conservatively with steroids, but symptoms did not subside. Doppler ultrasound and computed tomography scan suggested true radial artery aneurysm. In view of pseudoaneurysm, surgical plan was made. During surgery, the aneurysm seemed to be involved in all the vessel layers. The aneurysm was excised, and ligation of both the ends was done. Anastomosis was not done owing to good flow in the distal part from the ulnar artery and damage to a long segment of the radial artery. Patients on anticoagulants are at a risk of aneurysm formation than patients who are not. It can be diagnosed clinically and radiologically.

True Radial Artery Aneurysm in the Anatomical Snuffbox

True radial artery aneurysms are extremely uncommon and those of the distal radial artery are even rarer than those of the proximal radial artery. A review of the literature revealed one case of a true radial artery aneurysm in the anatomical snuffbox and another one distal to the anatomical snuffbox. Those described in literature are usually false aneurysms secondary to direct trauma or iatrogenic. Of a few radial artery aneurysms reported, for some an idiopathic etiology is described and others are atherosclerotic. Here we report an unusual case of a true radial artery aneurysm with idiopathic etiology.

Radial Artery Aneurysm Resulting from Repetitive Occupational Injury: Tailor's Thumb

True radial artery aneurysms are very rare and a cause is rarely identified. An unusual case of a true radial artery aneurysm in a tailor of fifty years; presenting with a growing, tender lump at the base of his thumb. Radial artery aneurysms are classically pseudoaneurysms from iatrogenic traumatic injury - arterial cannulation. This is the first case in the literature to demonstrate a true aneurysm secondary to repetitive occupational injury.

Aneurysm of the Radial Artery in the Anatomical Snuff Box

Aneurysms of the radial artery are uncommon; most of the recorded cases occurred after trauma. We report a case of true aneurysm of radial artery in the anatomical snuff box in a 63-year-old healthy non-smoking woman with no history of trauma. The Duplex scan and the MRA confirmed the presence of the aneurysm of the distal radial artery, approximately 1.1 by 1.0cm. We checked the patency of the palmar collateral circle by a preoperative and intraoperative Allen's test with a hand held Doppler. We ligated the radial artery and excised the aneurysm. The histopathologic study showed a non-specific aneurysm without specific alterations, excluding atherosclerotic or micotic nature.
