Abstract

We present three patients who had false aneurysms following closed injury. In all these patients the diagnosis was initially missed because the large haematoma masked the underlying false aneurysm and its pulsations. Simple incision and drainage in Casualty was disastrous and could be avoided by greater awareness of the problem.
