[Post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the posterior tibial artery].

A case of post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the posterior tibial artery is presented. The diagnosis was made by ultrasound one week after the trauma, and a vascular reconstruction was performed. The purpose of this case report is to bring attention to this complication to vascular trauma, which may cause delayed symptoms long time after the injury. We suggest that these patients should be treated with vascular reconstruction rather than ligation, thereby preserving the function of this artery.
