ABSTRACT
A review of 46 patients operated for arterial aneurysms over an eight years period is presented. Twenty-nine patients developed aneurysm following vascular trauma while 17 had atherosclerotic aneurysms. Thirty-one patients presented with painless swelling or swelling with mild pain and four patients with frank rupture. Reconstruction was successful in all cases with a peri-operativ mortality of only 4.3%. Unlike western countries, trauma is the leading cause of aneurysm and aneurysms can be managed with minimal morbidity and mortality
