Abstract:
Pseudoaneurysm formation in the site of Intravenous drug abuser had been reported in literature. The repeated puncture of femoral vessels leads to abscess formation and epithelisation of the wall which leads to pseudoaneurysm formation. A case of lacking pseudoaneurysm presenting as reptured groin abscess in a drug addict is reported, which was managed successfully by Hunterian ligation with salvage of lower limb.
