As an alternative to the conventional surgery technique, percutaneous Doppler ultrasound-guided thrombin injection is a safe and effective treatment. O pseudoaneurisma da artéria plantar medial é raro. Os autores relatam um caso de pseudoaneurisma da artéria plantar medial após lesão perfurocortante em criança. O diagnóstico pode ser confirmado por ultrassom com Doppler e angiorressonância magnética.
