A pseudoaneurysm of the peroneal artery or one of its branches is rare after trauma. The diagnosis is frequently delayed, resulting in substantial morbidity to the patient. The infrequent occurrence of this condition has resulted in a lack of diagnostic and treatment guidelines. However, when recognized, prompt attention involving either surgical ligation or embolization of the injured arterial branch is the most reliable method of treatment. Presented is a report of a patient who developed a lateral malleolar arterial pseudoaneurysm after an ankle sprain, which was treated successfully with aneurysmal excision and surgical ligation of the injured arterial branch. A review of the literature and treatment recommendations follow.
