Introduction:
Although saphenofemoral junction aneurysms are not so rare, only scarce of the published cases reported thrombosis of the aneurysmal sac and saphenous trunk.
Presentation Of Case:
A 65-year-old male with varicose disease, developed acute ascending superficial vein thrombosis of the left greater saphenous vein, involving the 6-cm saphenofemoral junction aneurysm. The patient underwent common femoral vein thrombectomy, aneurysm removal, and greater saphenous vein excision with uneventful postoperative course.
Conclusion:
Thrombosed giant saphenofemoral junction aneurysms require emergent surgical intervention aimed at preventing potential progression to deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
