Abstract

Radial artery aneurysm is an extremely rare disease and this is usually caused by iatrogenic trauma such as arterial cannulation. Most traumatic aneurysms in the extremities are false aneurysms and most cases have occurred at the level of the wrist. Very few true aneurysms of the radial artery have been reported, with most of them being iatrogenic. A right handed 38-year-old female had a true aneurysm of the distal radial artery in the thenar groove of the palm. The patient had a history of excessive handclapping and the injury was suggestive of repetitive occupational injury due to scissoring. She underwent surgical treatment for the aneurysm of the radial artery in the thenar groove of the palm of her hand.

요골 동맥의 동맥류는 매우 드문 질환으로 주로 동맥 도관 삽입과 같은 외상으로 인하여 야기된다. 대부분의 외상으로 인한 동맥류는 가성 동맥류로 대부분은 손목 부위에서 발생한다. 극히 적은 수의진성 동맥류가 요골 동맥에서 보고되고 있으며, 이들 중 대부분은 외인성으로 알려지고 있다. 오른손 잡이인 38세의 여자 환자에서 오른손 손바닥의 무지 융기 부위에 원위부 요를 동맥의 진성 동맥류가 발견되었는데, 이는 과도한 박수치기와 반복적인 가위질과 같은 직업적 손상으로 야기된 것으로 추정되었다. 그녀는 동맥류에 대한 성공적인 수술적 치료를 받았다.
