CASE REPORT
Compartment syndrome as a late presentation of brachial artery pseudoaneurysm following shaft of humerus fracture
Abstract
Peripheral artery pseudoaneurysm is rare in upper extremities compared with lower extremities.⇓ Early diagnosis and prompt management are two cornerstones of successful outcomes in these cases. Delay can lead to limb and life-threatening complications. We present a case of compartment syndrome of upper limb as a sequel to pseudoaneurysm of brachial artery for which we had to do shoulder disarticulation. The patient recovered uneventfully.
