title: [A posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery. Its diagnostic assessment by duplex color Doppler].
abstract: A twenty-nine-year-old woman, one week after a traumatic skin laceration on the territory of the distal part of the radial artery, developed a pulsating mass suggesting a pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery. Using the duplex color Doppler echography, we clearly demonstrated the anatomical damage, the presence of the false lumen and the continuity of the vessel. These observations were of great assistance for the subsequent surgical treatment.
