Posterior humeral circumflex artery aneurysms in upper extremity athletes are a rarely described entity now beginning to gain wider recognition in the medical literature. Recent studies have demonstrated that these aneurysms may be underdiagnosed and that appropriate recognition with early diagnosis is imperative for improved outcomes. This case report aims to increase awareness of posterior humeral circumflex artery aneurysms and to educate physicians on the appropriate recognition of symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. We describe two presentations of the same injury, as well as an approach to diagnosis and treatment. We also discuss new diagnostic techniques and future research plans.
Level III diagnostic study.
上肢运动员的肱后旋动脉动脉瘤是一种很少被描述的疾病，现在开始在医学文献中得到更广泛的认可。最近的研究表明，这些动脉瘤可能未被充分诊断，早期诊断并正确识别对于改善预后至关重要。本病例报告旨在提高对肱后旋动脉动脉瘤的认识，并教育医生正确识别症状、诊断和治疗方法。我们描述了同一损伤的两种表现形式，以及诊断和治疗方法。我们还讨论了新的诊断技术和未来的研究计划。
