Abstract
Peripheral venous cannulation is one of the most commonly performed medical procedures in hospital medicine. The dorsal metacarpal veins are typically used for cannulation as they are easily accessible. We present the first case of an iatrogenic intratendinous ganglion cyst of the extensor digitorum tendon of the middle finger following intravenous cannulation.
Sommario
Il posizionamento di cateteri venosi periferici è una delle procedure mediche più frequentemente eseguite negli ospedali. Le vene dorsali del metacarpo sono spesso utilizzate perché di facile accesso. Presentiamo il primo caso di cisti gangliare iatrogenica dell’estensore del terzo dito secondaria a cannulazione venosa.
