| Abstrakt: | Pseudoaneurysm following percutaneous tendoachilles (TA) tenotomy is a rare complication found in children with congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV). It is postulated that associated aberrant vascular anatomy in combination with CTEV may be the underlying aetiology. In this case report, we describe a case of a toddler who developed bilateral pseudoaneurysms following percutaneous tendoachilles tenotomy and explore the management and outcome in relation to this. Based on this case report and a review of the literature, the consistent clinical findings of swelling and/or discolouration due to pseudoaneurysm occur at three weeks post-tenotomy, and should raise suspicion for the diagnosis. Furthermore to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of bilateral pseudoaneurysms in the same setting, and we propose the possibility of an aberrant vessel arising from the peroneal artery that may be prone to injury.
