RESUMEN

Superficial pseudoaneurysms of the palmar arch is a rare disorder and only a few cases have been described in the literature. In the majority of cases it develops after artery lesion following penetrating injury, previous surgery or arterial puncture. Diagnosis is based on strong clinical suspicion, especially in patients with pulsatile mass. We here report a case of false aneurysm of the superficial palmar arch following broken glass injury in a 3-year old child.
