# Idiopathic Aneurysm of the Distal Radial Artery in the Fossa Tabatiére

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of an aneurysm in the distal radial artery and discusses its diagnosis and treatment.

## Contribution

The paper presents an extremely rare case of idiopathic aneurysm in the distal radial artery with angiosurgical treatment.

## Key findings

- Aneurysm of the distal radial artery is extremely rare and requires prompt diagnosis.
- Angiosurgical treatment is recommended due to risks of rupture and ischemia.
- The treatment has low morbidity and is effective for this rare condition.

## Abstract

The aneurysms of the radial arteries are extremely rare. Aneurysm of the radial artery is defined as a focal dilation of all components of the vascular wall to a diameter greater than 1.5 times its lumen. In our case report, we present the diagnosis, management, and angiosurgical treatment of a patient with an extremely rare case of aneurysm on the distal radial artery in the fossa Tabatiére. Angiosurgical treatment, which is always recommended due to the risk of rupture, embolization, and ischemia of the distal parts of the hand, has a low morbidity.
