Abstract

A 5 year old girl who presented with two bluish, cystic masses in her right forearm was shown on ultrasonography to have two localized saccular dilatations of the right radial vein. This led to the suspicion of venous aneurysms which was later confirmed by venography. They were finally excised because of the gradual increase in size and pain she had experienced over the previous two months.
