    A rare traumatic venous aneurysm in a young hockey player was diagnosed early and surgically removed. Prompt intervention for this vascular anomaly prevents serious complications like pulmonary embolism.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Venous aneurysms are uncommon vascular lesions, often presenting without associated varicose veins.
    • They pose risks of severe complications including pulmonary embolism, portal hypertension, and rupture.

    Observation:

    • A 15-year-old hockey player presented with a traumatic venous aneurysm of the greater saphenous vein.
    • The patient underwent timely diagnosis and surgical excision of the affected vein segment.

    Findings:

    • Early diagnosis using venography facilitated prompt surgical management.
    • Complete excision of the venous aneurysm was achieved, resolving the condition.

    Implications:

    • Early detection and surgical treatment of venous aneurysms are crucial for preventing life-threatening complications.
