Aneurysma spurium als seltene Komplikation einer Kniegelenksarthroskopie

Zusammenfassung

Dargestellt wird der seltene Fall eines Aneurysma spurium der Art. genus lat. inf. nach erfolgter Arthroskopie des Kniegelenks. Abgesehen von einer pulssynchronen Schwellung in großer Nähe zum ehemaligen anterolateralen Portal bestanden keine weiteren Beschwerden, insbesondere auch keine Schmerzen. Die diagnostischen und therapeutischen Strategien – im vorliegenden Fall mit Coiling des betroffenen Gefäßes – werden dargestellt und diskutiert.

Abstract

We present the rare case of a false aneurysm of the genus lat which occurred after knee arthroscopy. Apart from a pulse-synchronic swelling in close proximity to the former anterolateral portal there were no complaints and no pain. The diagnostic and therapeutic strategies – in this case performed with coiling of the involved vessel – are presented and discussed.
