Williamson"],"abstract":"Background: Popliteal artery pseudoaneurysms due to stab wounds are extremely rate. Even more infrequently, they can contribute to the compression of multiple peripheral nerves. Case Description: A 23-year-old male, following a trivial stab wound, developed the delayed occurrence of a pseudoaneurysm of the popliteal artery. This resulted in the delayed onset of a compressive popliteal/posterior tibial neuropathy. Following restoration of blood flow through the popliteal artery utilizing saphenous vein grafting, additional neurolysis resulted in resolution of the compressive neuropathy. Conclusion: A 23-year-old male developed a pseudoaneurysm following minor trauma that resulted in peripheral nerve dysfunction.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/a0763d86-8c01-4a76-8e07-60d2bc72ba0b/featured/hero-1781561996899.png","publishDate":"2021-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_770_2021","categories":["Spine","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/11139/SNI-12-488.pdf"}
