[Traumatic aneurysm of the axillary artery, a rare and severe complication of anterior shoulder dislocation].
The course of pseudo-aneurysm of the axillary artery, rarely occurring after blunt trauma of the shoulder, is analysed. Own experience is reported, the literature is reviewed. A high index of suspicion is necessary to recognise and repair this serious vascular injury in time in order to avoid permanent brachial plexus deficiency.
