title: Nontraumatic true aneurysm of the superficial palmar arch: a case report.
abstract: A case of a 62 year-old woman with true aneurysm of the superficial palmar arch with no previous history of trauma is described. The aneurysm was resected without reconstruction based on intraoperative evidence of adequate finger perfusion after clumping the distal and proximal ends. Three years after the operation, there has been no recurrence of the aneurysm and the patient has neither complaints nor symptoms.
