The transplant renal artery false aneurysm is a rare event but can be fatal. We report the case of a patient with a false aneurysm, which appeared 6 years after transplantation. The clinical presentation was an increase of the creatinine value and de novo graft hydronephrosis. The first ultrasound performed showed no aneurysm, leaving doubt whether this would not have been caused iatrogenically...

We report a case of false aneurysm involving a branch of the anterior tibial artery following total knee arthroplasty, which presented as an enlarging swelling over the antero-lateral aspect of the leg. False aneurysms are a rare complication of total knee replacement and most of those that do occur arise from the popliteal artery. The swelling was investigated and diagnosed as a false aneurysm...

INTRODUCTION False aneurysm of the arteries of the hand is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of false aneurysm of the superficial palmar arch in a 4-year-old boy following injury with a piece of glass.

Rupture or laceration of the aorta is a more common result of nonpenetrating traumatic injury than is generally appreciated. Approximately 15 per cent of individuals with traumatic rupture survive temporarily. If the lesion is promptly diagnosed appropriate surgical treatment may be life-saving. Diagnosis may be difficult and at times the rupture may remain clinically silent for variable period...

The aim of this study was to report a case that underwent a craniotomy after primary pre-operative cerebrovascular and 3D digital subtraction angiography (DSA) showed false results. DSA misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of aneurysms were found, and the subject was subsequently treated accordingly. This case was analysed to identify: 1) the cause of the false positive and false negative results ...
