[Nerve and deep vein compression by femoral artery pseudoaneurysm in a patient with multiple exostosis]. / Compression nerveuse et veineuse profonde par un faux anévrysme de l'artère fémorale superficielle au cours d'une exostose multiple.

ABSTRACT

The multiple exostosis is a hereditary bone tumour. Generally, its complications are benign and are related to compressing surrounding structures such as nerves and vessels. This is the case of a 52-year-old woman with a family history of multiple exostosis, which was complicated by a pseudoaneurysm of the right superficial femoral artery. The delay in diagnosis was allowed to develop this pseudoaneurysm which caused nervous and deep venous compression.
