Introduction Dorsalis pedis artery aneurysms (PDAA) and pseudoaneurysms are rare conditions of lower limb vasculature. The rarity of the disease increases in the pediatric age group where only 4 cases of pediatric patients with PDAA. Presentation of the case We present A case of a 2-year-old baby girl who was diagnosed with dorsalis pedis pseudoaneurysm, which was treated successfully with pseudoaneurysm dissection and anastomosis. Clinical discussion The dorsalis pedis pseudoaneurysm in this case has a rare anatomical location in addition to the unusual onset at this age group. Due to the rarity of this condition among all age groups, there is not a well-structured approach. Conclusion DPAA/pseudoaneurysm is a rare entity in the field of vascular surgery. Medical treatment is not suitable for DPAA/pseudoaneurysm to avoid the future risk of thrombosis or ischemia. The surgical approach is the Mainstay of treatment.
