Abstract:
Subclavian artery (SCA) pseudoaneurysm after blunt chest trauma is rare and its delayed presentation months after the SCA injury is even rarer. Herein we discuss a case of SCA pseudoaneurysm in a 74-year-old man who presented to us 5 months after blunt chest trauma. He had been managed conservatively for the fracture of first rib and clavicle until presentation to our hospital. He had uncontrolled hypertension and a rapidly increasing large painful swelling (10 by 8 cm) in left clavicular region along with purplish discoloration of the overlying skin. The diagnosis was confirmed after computed tomography angiography and the patient was successfully treated with surgical evacuation of clots, primary repair of the rent in the SCA, and plating of clavicular fracture.

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
