Summary

We present two cases of osteochondroma associated with a pseudoaneurysm of the brachial artery. The diagnosis was confirmed by arteriography and ultrasonography in one case. Treatment was resection of the pseudoaneurysm, and saphenous vein grafting, with excision of the osteochondroma in both patients.

Résumé

Nous présentons deux cas de pseudoanévrysmes de l'artère humérale compliquant une exostose ostéogénique de l'extrémité supérieure de l'humérus. Le diagnostic a été porté avec l'examen clinique, la radiographie, l'échographie et l'artériographie. Le traitement a consisté en la résection de l'anévrysme suivie d'angioplastie par patch de veine saphène et exerèse l'exostose.
