[The following table, extracted from the Cyclopædia of Practical Surgery, will place this subject in a clearer and more accurate point of view. It exhibits the relative frequency of spontaneous aneurism in the different arteries in 179 cases, excluding those of the aorta: it was drawn up originally by Mons. Lisfranc:—
1.Popliteal59
2.Femoral { at the groin26
at other points 18
3.Carotid17
4.Subclavian16
5.Axillary in the arm-pit14
6.External iliac5
7.Innominata4
8.Brachial3
9.Common iliac3
10.Anterior tibial3
11.Gluteal2
12.Internal iliac2
13.Temporal2
14.Internal carotid1
15.Ulnar1
16.Fibular1
17.Radial1
18.Palmar1
In another table, constructed by Mr. Hodgson, and founded upon sixty-three cases, including, however, twenty-nine of the aorta and innominata, the results are as follows:—
Carotid 2 Subclavian and axillary 5 Inguinal 12 Femoral and popliteal 15.—ED.]
