A false aneurysm of the ulnar artery after a forearm compartment syndrome.
A case is presented of a forearm compartment syndrome following a low velocity gunshot wound, with a subsequent ulnar artery false aneurysm. The diagnosis of a traumatic false aneurysm was delayed, presenting as a pulsatile mass with confirmation by arteriography. Early exploration and surgical treatment of the arterial system is recommended when a compartment syndrome follows a low velocity gunshot wound of the extremities.
