Upper extremity aneurysm in infants.
We report a 2-month-old female infant with a false aneurysm of the brachial artery and an 8-month-old male infant with a true aneurysm of a common digital artery. These traumatic aneurysms in the upper extremity are extremely rare in infants. In the former infant, reanastomosis of the brachial artery was performed. In the latter infant, simple excision was successful.
