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.
