“…Five cases of peroneal artery aneurysm of mycotic aetiology have been described in the literature and are summarised below. [6][7][8][9][10] Ferrero et al reported a 69-year old man with a sudden onset of pain in the right calf without signs of leg ischaemia. 6 The diagnosis of a mycotic peroneal artery aneurysm was made based on the unusual location of the aneurysm, clinical presentation and positive blood cultures.…”

“…Another mycotic aneurysm was described by McKee and Ballard. 7 They reported a 15-year-old boy with bilateral peroneal artery aneurysms resulting from Candida endocarditis following a cardiac valve replacement operation. Symptoms and clinical signs included pyrexia, a systolic murmur and a pulsatile mass with a thrill on the medial aspect of the calf.…”

True aneurysm of the tibial arteries is a rare clinical condition. We report the case of a 67-year-old man who presented with a gradual onset of right calf swelling and pain. Imaging revealed large aneurysms arising from the proximal peroneal arteries bilaterally, measuring 7.4cm and 4cm on the right and left respectively. A detailed medical history, clinical examination and laboratory investigations did not identify evidence of an underlying cause. A surgical reconstruction with an interposition vein graft was successfully performed. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of primary aneurysm of the peroneal artery in the English literature. We undertook a systematic literature review to identify all reported cases of primary aneurysms of the tibial arteries. The clinical presentation, modes of investigation and interventional treatments are discussed.

SUMMARYInfrapopliteal mycotic aneurysm resulting from endocarditis is rare, with only a few reported cases. We describe the case of a 28-year-old male patient who was suffering with pain and edema in the right leg. The ultrasound revealed an aneurysm of the right tibioperoneal trunk and a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The patient was admitted and developed acute congestive heart failure, being diagnosed with possible endocarditis. A pseudo-aneurysm was revealed by arteriography. Aggressive antibiotic treatment was initiated, and open surgery confirmed a mycotic pseudo-aneurysm of the tibioperoneal trunk. To our knowledge, this is the 8 th case reported of an infected aneurysm in this particular location.

“…1 Pseudoaneurysms of the anterior tibial artery and tibioperoneal trunk are exceedingly rare. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] In addition, most if not all of these aneurysms are due to prior trauma or infection. Our patient denied any trauma and had no signs of overt bacteremia or endocarditis.…”

Aneurysms of the tibioperoneal trunk and anterior tibial artery are extremely rare. There are only a few case reports of this entity, for which the majority are secondary to prior trauma or bacteremia and endocarditis. We describe a case of spontaneous pseudoaneurysms of the right anterior tibial artery and tibioperoneal trunk. The pseudoaneurysms were thrombosed on follow-up computed tomography angiography and the patient has been asymptomatic. The patient is being treated conservatively and remains asymptomatic at 1 year of follow-up.
