Abstract
Traumatic arterial vasospasm with no surrounding anatomic damage is a rare finding. Delayed presentation of arterial vasospasm several days from the i nciting event is also rare. However, when the diagnosis of arterial vasospa sm is considered, evaluation and treatment must be initiated promptly to av oid prolonged ischemia to the extremity. We present an 11-year-old female w ho presented with a delayed presentation of arterial vasospasm, and also re view the literature.
