| Popis: | Retained foreign bodies and penetrating injuries to the plantar aspect of the foot are a common childhood problem. Inflammations or infections are common complications whereas vascular injury and pseudoaneurysm' formation are rare. Three cases of post -traumatic lateral plantar artery (LPA) pseudoaneurysms due to foot lacerations by glass have been reported in children. This case is a six year-old boy who presented with two episodes of bleeding after a foot laceration sustained when he stepped on glass. CT angiography showed an LPA pseudoaneurysm that was successfully managed by surgery. It should be recognized that penetrating injuries to the plantar aspect of the foot, may be associated with vascular injury and pseudoaneurysm' formation. Appropriate investigations and management is important to prevent further complications. |
