“…In 2006, Labropoulous et al reported a case of complete aplasia of GSV in a 60year-old female with CVI. 12 In our study, 4 cases of complete absence of GSV, were diagnosed cases of KTW syndrome. In one case, 14-year boy presented with venous insufficiency; the reason may be a congenital weakness of the wall with absent GSV.…”

Objective To evaluate the incidence of anomalies in the superficial venous system in lower limb. Method Triplex ultrasonography in clinically suspected cases of acute or chronic venous disease or congenital malformation was performed on 3189 lower limbs in 2000 patients (bilateral in 1189 and unilateral in 811) from Jan 2020 to Dec 2020. Result (1) Anomalies of great saphenous vein were observed in 496 cases (15.5%), (2) Anomalies of short saphenous vein were observed in 760 cases (23.8%), (3) Anomalies of accessory saphenous veins were seen in 984 (30.88%), 1501 (47%), 1068 (33.5%) and 774 (24.25%) corresponding to the anterior, posterior, lateral systems and posterior accessory vein of leg, respectively. Conclusion Anomalies of the superficial venous system in lower limb are very common and must be reported in every doppler study. These anomalous veins may be the cause for residual or recurrent disease in chronic venous insufficiency, which warrants further research.

“…In this case, the blood flows through the suprafascial branch of the GSV (the superficial, anterior or posterior accessory GSV) that connects the start and end points of its hypoplastic or aplastic segments. However, there was evidence for hypoplasia of the GSV extending to the inguinal area [10]. The incidence rate of such hypoplasia localization is 2.4% [3].…”

The objective of the research was to improve the diagnostics and treatment of patients with primary varicose great saphenous veins by studying their frequency and systematizing the variants of localization and extension of great saphenous vein hypoplasia and aplasia in its trunk. Materials and Methods. The study included 560 patients with varicose veins of the lower limbs and pathological refluxes in different segments of the great saphenous vein. All the patients underwent triplex ultrasound scan of the lower limb venous system. Results. Among the patients with pathological reflux in a certain GSV segment, hypo- and aplasia of its segments were observed in 32.5% of the cases (95% CI 28.6-36.6%). Aplasia of this vein was observed twice as less frequently than hypoplasia (p<0.05). In 2.3% of the cases (95% CI 1.2-3.9%), hypoplasia of a certain GSV segment evolved to aplasia, or vice versa. It was found that the GSV trunk may have several hypo- or aplastic regions separated by its normal or varicose segment – bi-level hypo- or aplasia that was observed in 3.8% of the patients with hypo- or aplasia (95% CI 1.6-7.8%). In bi-level hypo- or aplasia, 2 hypoplastic regions were detected in 85.7% of the cases (95% CI 42.1-99.6%) and 2 aplastic regions were found in 14.3% of the cases (95% CI 0.4-57.9%). There were proposed to distinguish the following variants of GSV hypo- and aplasia: 1) simple: total, proximal, segmental and distal; 2) bi-level: proximal segmental, distal segmental and bi-segmental. In addition, for every dysplastic vein segment, the type of malformation should be indicated, namely hypoplasia, aplasia, or hypo/aplasia. Conclusions. The study conducted allowed assessing the relationship between the variants of GSV hypo- and aplastic segment localization and extension and different variations of pathological refluxes of the GSV in its trunk for further choice of surgical tactics.

Aplasia or hypoplasia of great saphenous vein (GSV) is relatively common. Most of them are segmental and localized around the knee. They rarely extend to the inguinal area, yet in case of this, the anterior accessory saphenous vein (AASV) is the most common connecting vein. We report a case of a 22-year-old male who underwent surgery for pain and heaviness of the right calf. He had the hypoplasia of right GSV extended from below the popliteal crease to near the saphenofemoral junction with posterior ASV (PASV) as a connecting vein. Significant reflux was observed in PASV and GSV which are proximal to PASV. High ligation and stripping was performed, and symptoms improved after surgery. In this report, the author discussed a rare case of long-segment hypoplasia of GSV with PASV as a connecting vein.
