“…Aneurysms may manifest as asymptomatic or present as a pulsatile mass with shivering, local pain and ischemic pain 10 . In this case, the patient presented with venous congestion, visible superficial venous system and edema with increased circumference of the right lower limb with respect to the contralateral limb, clinical signs that had not been reported in the cases previously described so far in the literature 3,4,8,12,13 . Diagnosis is made by clinical examination and complementary tests such as echo-Doppler, angiography, computed axial tomography or magnetic resonance angiography.…”

“…Only in one of the five previously known cases, separate stitches were used for the anastomosis, following the technical considerations of vascular surgery in the pediatric population mentioned above, where they also suggest absorbable suture to allow better radial growth of the intervened vascular structure 11 . A hypothesis that has not been supported by studies in the literature; in the other cases of idiopathic popliteal artery aneurysm in the pediatric population mentioned, anastomosis was performed with non-absorbable suture and using continuous stitches, obtaining good results 3,4,12,13 .…”

“…Non-traumatic arterial aneurysms in the pediatric population are very rare and usually associated with inflammatory or degenerative conditions 3 . The most frequent location is the thoracic or abdominal aorta, being rare in other locations 4 . Peripheral aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms have been described in patients with inherited connective tissue diseases that weaken the structure of vascular tissue, such as Ehlers-Danlos and Marfan syndrome 5 .…”

We describe the case of a 5-year-old boy with an idiopathic popliteal artery aneurysm on the right leg, who presented the first clinical manifestations from the age of 3 months, with an increase in the circumference of the right lower limb, visible superficial venous system and purplish coloration, without compromised mobility. A final imaging diagnosis was made when patient was 2 years old, through computed tomography angiography, with subsequent surgical repair at 5 years by popliteal-popliteal bypass (supra-infra patellar), bypass bridge with reversed greater saphenous vein, anastomosis with continuous stitches, proximal, and distal ligation of the aneurysm. Patient evolves satisfactorily in the post-operative period.

IntroductionThe case of an idiopathic thrombosed popliteal aneurysm is described in an otherwise healthy 6 year old child. This is the fourth reported case and the second youngest patient to present with an idiopathic isolated popliteal aneurysm.ReportA 6 year old boy presented with an acutely ischaemic right foot. Computed tomography angiography confirmed a thrombosed popliteal aneurysm. A femoropopliteal bypass was performed with reversed long saphenous vein and ligation of the aneurysm. Yearly follow up is ongoing with ultrasound surveillance; the child's growth and development is unaffected, and the graft is patent. There was a readmission over six years later with claudication on the right side. There was evidence of thrombus in the graft with associated distal embolisation, which was managed conservatively with anticoagulation.DiscussionGiven the rarity of such presentations in the paediatric population, there is minimal good quality data to guide treatment. There have been three previous cases of idiopathic popliteal aneurysms all managed with a reversed long saphenous vein femoropopliteal bypass with resection of the aneurysm. Management should be guided based on the clinical picture and should be undertaken in specialised tertiary centres if possible. Surgical intervention is the treatment of choice in patients with an ischaemic limb.
