Abstract

Verminous aneurysm is an exceptionally rare vascular manifestation potentially associated with parasitic infection, particularly when involving unusual anatomical locations such as the facial region. We report the case of a 30-year-old man presenting with a facial vascular lesion in the setting of a previous history of filarial infection. This exceptional case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with suspected filarial involvement in unusual vascular lesions. Surgical management involved direct exposure and resection of the vascular lesion, with a satisfactory postoperative clinical outcome. This case contributes to the medical literature by offering a new perspective on the management of rare vascular lesions with suspected filarial involvement, particularly in unusual anatomical locations, and emphasizes the diagnostic challenges and individualized management of such vascular manifestations. The rarity of this presentation and its clinical management provide valuable insights for both research and medical practice.

寄生虫性动脉瘤:罕见病例。
寄生虫性动脉瘤是一种非常罕见的血管表现,可能与寄生虫感染有关,特别是当涉及不寻常的解剖位置,如面部区域时。我们报告的情况下,一个30岁的男子提出与面部血管病变的设置以前的历史丝虫病感染。这一例外的病例强调了在不寻常的血管病变中疑似丝虫病的诊断挑战。手术治疗包括直接暴露和切除血管病变,术后临床结果令人满意。该病例为医学文献提供了一个新的视角来处理疑似丝虫病累及的罕见血管病变,特别是在不寻常的解剖位置,并强调了诊断的挑战和这种血管表现的个性化处理。这种罕见的表现及其临床管理为研究和医疗实践提供了宝贵的见解。
