title: Congenital pseudoaneurysm of the superficial palmar arch in a child: a case report.

When the condition is congenital, except for those aneurysms found in the circle of Willis, existence in the upper extremity is almost unknown. The following case report describes a congenital pseudoaneurysm involving the superficial palmar arch in a child.
