Dorsalis pedis artery pseudoaneurysm: A rare entity in the field of vascular surgery

Dorsalis pedis artery aneurysms (PDAA) and pseudoaneurysms are rare conditions of lower limb vasculature. The rarity of the disease increases in the pediatric age group where only 4 cases of pediatric patients with PDAA. We present A case of a 2-year-old baby girl who was diagnosed with dorsalis pedis pseudoaneurysm, which was treated successfully with pseudoaneurysm dissection and anastomosis. The dorsalis pedis pseudoaneurysm in this case has a rare anatomical location in addition to the unusual onset at this age group. Due to the rarity of this condition among all age groups, there is not a well-structured approach. DPAA/pseudoaneurysm is a rare entity in the field of vascular surgery. Medical treatment is not suitable for DPAA/pseudoaneurysm to avoid the future risk of thrombosis or ischemia. The surgical approach is the Mainstay of treatment. •Dorsalis pedis artery aneurysms (PDAA) and pseudoaneurysms are rare conditions of lower limb vasculature.•This condition is even extremely rare in pediatric age group.•The vast majority of Dorsalis pedis artery pseudoaneurysms are caused by traumatic injury.•The usual clinical presentation of PDAA is occasionally painful pulsating mass in the dorsum of the foot.•DPAA treatment is surgical.
