title: Radial artery pseudoaneurysm: a rare complication after arthroscopic treatment of a volar wrist ganglion in a hemophilia patient.
abstract: Vascular complications of wrist arthroscopy are rare. We report the case of a 42-year-old male patient with a history of hemophilia who had a ganglion located where the radial pulse is taken that had been causing him pain for five months. After infusion of Exacyl (antifibrinolytic agent), the ganglion was drained arthroscopically. Fifteen days later, the patient presented with a pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery requiring urgent reoperation.
