The popliteal vein aneurysm is a rare condition that can lead to local symptoms, thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. We report the case of a 67 years old, otherwise healthy white male, who presented to us with localised swelling and pain in the left popliteal fossa. Duplex ultrasound and venography were obtained, confirming the diagnosis of popliteal vein aneurysm. The patient underwent tangential aneurysmectomy and lateral venorrhaphy, recovery was uneventful remaining asymptomatic. The reconstruction was demonstrated patent on a duplex scan. The popliteal vein aneurysm is a potentially fatal condition for which surgical treatment is recommended.
腘静脉动脉瘤是一种罕见疾病，可导致局部症状、血栓形成和肺栓塞。我们报告一例67岁、身体健康的白人男性病例，该患者因左腘窝局部肿胀和疼痛前来就诊。进行了双功超声检查和静脉造影，确诊为腘静脉动脉瘤。患者接受了动脉瘤切线切除术和外侧静脉缝合法，恢复顺利，未出现症状。双功扫描显示重建血管通畅。腘静脉动脉瘤是一种潜在致命疾病，建议进行手术治疗。
