Case Reports[Hypothenar aneurysm of the ulnar artery. Apropos of a case treated by excision and anastomosis].
A case of aneurysm of the ulnar artery, located in the region of the hypothenar eminence is reported. This true traumatic aneurysm had a reconstructive treatment, considering the arterial anatomy of the patient's hand. A resection followed by an end to end anastomosis has been done with a good post-operative result at two years and a half. ⋯ The diagnosis of aneurysm is primarily clinical. Arteriography is interesting in the preoperative check-up. Reconstructive surgery is now preferred.
