Book Review A Case of undiagnosed Pseudoaneurysm caused by an open tibial fracture
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
A pseudoaneurysm is a hematoma that forms as the result of a leak in an artery. The hematoma forms outside the arterial wall, so it is contained by the surrounding tissues while still communicating with the artery. By comparison, a true aneurysm is a localised dilatation of an artery including all the layers of the arterial wall.
