Unusual mechanism of vascular trauma: Femoral artery penetration by wooden stick and delayed repair case report.

Introduction And Importance: Penetrating vascular trauma in the pediatric population is uncommon but can lead to serious complications, especially with delayed presentation. Injuries involving the superficial femoral artery (SFA) are rare and pose diagnostic and management challenges, particularly in resource-limited rural settings. Retained foreign bodies such as wooden sticks further complicate vascular injuries and increase the risk of infection and thrombosis.

Spontaneous true brachial artery aneurysm: A case report from Somalia.

Introduction And Importance: True brachial artery aneurysms are rather uncommon, due to their number of etiological factors. Besides inducing symptoms such as hand or digit ischemia, they may present as pulsative tumefactions and cause pain or paresthesias through nerve impingement. The diagnosis is based on duplex ultrasonography, CTA in the operational planning phase, and a physical examination.
