AB  - Traumatic aneurysms of the superficial femoral (SFA) and superior medial 
      geniculate artery (SMGA) demonstrated late expansion of previously well contained 
      hematomas which were pulsatile and remarkable for the presence of bruits. Injury 
      to the SFA resulted in a cool, pulseless distal extremity. Direct exploration of 
      the pseudoaneurysm cavity following proximal and distal control of the main 
      arterial segment resulted in optimal exposure and successful repair of the 
      arterial defect. Blunt trauma may result in pseudoaneurysm formation. Persistent 
      swelling at a focus of injury despite normal distal pulsation is an early 
      indicator of major vascular injury.
