Abstract
Two young men presented with symptoms following lower extremity injuries sustained in the normal course of participation in sports. One played baseball while the other competed in Tae Kwon Do. One case presented with digital ischemia, the other developed a pulsating hematoma. Each came to angiography, and each proved to have a false aneurysm of a tibial artery. The tibial artery was ligated in each case, without further complications. The patient with digital ischemia was thought to have sustained microemboli, and also underwent lumbar sympathectomy.Entities:
