A Case of True Dorsalis Pedis Artery Aneurysm

Abstract

We experienced a case of a rare dorsalis pedis artery aneurysm. The patient was a 55-year-old man who had been experiencing pain and swelling in the dorsum of his right foot for six months and was referred to our clinic. An aneurysm of 23 mm in diameter was found by CT. The aneurysm was resected and revascularization using the great saphenous vein was performed. Pathological findings showed dissection in the tunica media of the arterial wall and plaque in the intima, and the patient was diagnosed as a true atherosclerotic dorsalis pedis artery aneurysm.
