Resumo

© 2025 The authors.An aneurysm of the anterior tibial artery is always a challenge because it does not provoke symptoms and when a pulsating mass is detected, the aneurysm diameter is already enlarged and there is a greater likelihood of rupture or thrombosis. We report the case of a healthy, 53-year-old, female patient diagnosed with an aneurysm of the anterior tibial artery at the transition to the dorsalis pedis artery, which was identified during ultrasonography performed to investigate plantar fasciitis. The aneurysm was treated by coil embolization and there were no complications.
