A closer look at the groin shows chronic skin dimples secondary to
repeated injections. This is commonly seen in IV drug users.
We should suspect a ruptured pseudoaneurysm if a patient has
bleeding from these groin wounds.
Pseudoaneurym is formed because of accidental puncture to nearby
artery during injections, without proper haemostasis by compression. 83
