title: Aneurysms of the digital arteries: a case report and literature review.
abstract: Aneurysms of the digital vessels are rare. An aneurysm of the radial digital artery of the index finger in a child is reported to illustrate the clinical presentation and value of magnetic resonance arteriography in diagnosis. Literature review reveals that only 18 cases have been reported. These cases are analyzed in terms of digit involvement, vessel affected, mechanism of injury, and treatment.
