Vascular lesions constitute an important cause of morbidity and mortality, including functional disability. Their poor documentation in the literature suggests a low frequency in the pediatric age range. Herein, we describe the case of an 11-year-old-boy with an isolated radial artery injury. The patient initially presented with active bleeding from a lacerated wound. He was intervened on multiple occasions for hematoma formation and suture dehiscence at a primary care center from his community. During his admission, he required a blood transfusion for active bleeding. Vascular exploration was performed, and radial artery lesion was managed by ligation.
血管损伤是发病和死亡的重要原因，包括功能残疾。文献中对它们的记录较少，表明在儿童年龄范围内发生率较低。在此，我们描述了一名11岁男孩孤立性桡动脉损伤的病例。患者最初因撕裂伤出现活动性出血。他在社区的初级保健中心因血肿形成和缝线裂开接受了多次干预。在入院期间，他因活动性出血需要输血。进行了血管探查，桡动脉损伤通过结扎处理。
