Popliteal vein aneurysms are rare but serious conditions causing swelling and pain. Surgical repair is recommended to prevent potentially fatal complications like pulmonary embolism.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Popliteal vein aneurysms are uncommon venous malformations.
  • They can lead to significant local symptoms and life-threatening complications such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Observation:

  • A 67-year-old male presented with localized swelling and pain in the left popliteal fossa.
  • Diagnostic imaging, including duplex ultrasound and venography, confirmed a popliteal vein aneurysm.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent successful surgical repair via tangential aneurysmectomy and lateral venorrhaphy.
  • Postoperative duplex scans confirmed the patency of the repaired vein, with the patient remaining asymptomatic.

Implications:

  • Popliteal vein aneurysms require prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention.
