Post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of brachial artery in multiple hereditary exostoses

Pseudoaneurysms adjacent to exostoses have been commonly reported in the femoral and popliteal arteries and only rarely in the upper extremity. We describe a case of an 18-year-old man with multiple hereditary exostoses who developed a brachial artery pseudoaneurysm after minor trauma to his right upper arm, adjacent to a known lesion. He was referred to a vascular surgeon who removed the pseudoaneurysm and repaired the artery with a saphenous vein graft. We encourage a high suspicion of vascular injury even after minor trauma when an osteochondroma is adjacent to a vascular structure.
