Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms are a relatively rare presentation in the pediatric emergency department with considerable implications. Ultrasonography is commonly employed in identifying pseudoaneurysms and distinguishing them from true aneurysms. Reports of detecting pseudoaneurysms by point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) are abundant in adults, yet scant in children. We present a multi-institutional 8-case series of POCUS used in pediatric patients to identify pseudoaneurysms in 6 different anatomic locations.
