Profunda Brachii Pseudoaneurysm following Supracondylar Fracture of Humerus Repair in an 8-Year-Old Boy: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Arterial pseudoaneurysm can manifest in almost all arteries, but peripheral ones such as brachial artery pseudoaneurysm are rare and typically happen after trauma or infections. We describe an 8-year-old boy who presented with a large nonpulsatile soft tissue mass-like lesion 20 days after supracond...
