“…However, the risk of rupture is low [5]. Approximately two-thirds of PVAs are saccular and the majority are located in the left lower limb because of the compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery [6].…”

Popliteal venous aneurysms are rare vascular disorders associated with a high risk of pulmonary embolism. We present the case of a 56-year-old woman hospitalized for a third episode of unprovoked pulmonary embolism. Venous ultrasonography identified a popliteal aneurysm, repeatedly missed by two-point compression venous ultrasonography, which was eventually confirmed by a magnetic resonance examination. Because of its highly symptomatic nature despite optimal anticoagulant treatment, the decision was made to undergo surgery, consisting of aneurysmectomy followed by patch angioplasty. The goal of this paper is to report a rare case of popliteal venous aneurysm and its treatment strategies and postoperative evolution.

The incidence of venous aneurysm is less than the arterial aneurysms. The knowledge of Popliteal vein aneurysm (PVA) is important as it could be a source of pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis and so could be fatal. PVA could be an incidental finding during the investigations for pulmonary embolism or chronic venous insufficiency. We report a case of left popliteal vein aneurysm in the popliteal fossa in a 65-year-old female cadaver observed during routine dissection. A large saccular dilatation was noted in the left popliteal vein in the distal part of the popliteal fossa. The right popliteal vein was normal.An early diagnosis of PVA with doppler ultrasound examination is important to prevent the occurrence of any thromboembolic events or other major complications.
