[Pseudoaneurysm of the superficial palmar arch, following endoscopic carpal tunnel release. A case report].
Pseudo-aneurysm of the superficial palmar arch following carpal tunnel release is exceptional and thus poorly reported. We present one observation, recorded on more than 1300 hands treated by endoscopic release using the "Chow" technique by a single surgeon. Ultra-sonography could be used in an attempt to locate the superficial palmar arch and thus prevent vascular damage at surgery.
