False aneurysms following inversion trauma of the ankle are very uncommon. We present a case of a 40-year-old male referred to our radiology department with persisting and painful swelling of the ankle following an inversion trauma. An MRI scan was performed that showed a false aneurysm originating from a distal anterior tibial artery side branch; the lateral malleolar artery. The false aneurysm was confirmed with ultrasound and successfully treated with ultrasoundguided thrombin injection. The patient made an uneventful recovery.
踝关节内翻创伤后出现假性动脉瘤极为罕见。我们报告一例40岁男性,因踝关节内翻创伤后持续疼痛肿胀,转诊至我院放射科。进行了磁共振成像扫描,显示一个源自胫前动脉远端侧支(外踝动脉)的假性动脉瘤。通过超声证实了假性动脉瘤,并成功进行了超声引导下凝血酶注射治疗。患者恢复顺利。
